topics for seminars

  SanHoDo is a martial art system that breaks down training into 3 different levels for the students. We have taken three of our major styles to create something that is not found in any other schools. Those three styles are Okinawa Goju Ryu Karate, Escrima, and Feeding Crane Kung Fu. 

Other styles can also be found such as Pancration, aikido and more. 

Much of this system is broken down into 3 parts (thus the name). Those parts are Principles, Techniques, & Concepts. Each of these help create a person into a better martial artist a step at a time using a structured system to do it with. 

Advance students are also shown what lies beyond techniques by teaching the science, philosophy, and more of the martial arts. 

Braun Sensei is one of the few Americans that teach Feeding Crane Kung Fu in the USA.

   Taught to him by the  lineage head of the Liu family Feeding Crane system, Grand Master Liu Chang-I, Feeding Crane is a Southern Chinese martial art which originated in Fujian province and is now practiced throughout the world. It can be added to your already learned martial art or as an independent system.

  The system contains a complete and traditional curriculum, including power development (kung’li), forms, application, chi’gung, body conditioning, as well as herbal medicine and other traditional practices.

   Feeding Crane is an internal and external system. Externally, Crane utilizes fluid speed movements within the body to produce the power of a whip lightning speed, accuracy and efficiency. Crane style is preformed from a state of relaxation, and then within a split second, 100% power is utilized when executing a move, and then back to relaxation.

This unique form of stick fighting is taught in both level 1 (with sticks) and level 2 (bare hands). This way, students are learn how to fight with and without weapons.

This art can be used by itself or blended into your current art to help teach combat flow and blending.  Its focus is in creating a smooth transition from technique to technique while using the hands and arms as the primary weapons. With approach is done both with and without sticks. 

All participants will need 1 pair of escrima sticks that are in safe training condition. If someone does not have a pair of escrima sticks, they can be purchased from Braun Sensei for $25 and brought to the seminar ONLY IF ORDERED 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE EVENT.

To order a pair of escrima sticks, please contact Braun Sensei.

Through his seminar you will receive a basic understand of how to survive an attack on the street. From the very first minutes of the event you will learn techniques that could help change the tides in a life or death situation. 

Braun Sensei has more than just a "classroom understanding" of combat. He has a military background, decades of practice and study, and (unfortunately) more than a handful of times where his own life was on the line. Because of his training, he is alive today to teach you what he knows.
