Heaven Fist 10,00 Kung Fu

Heaven Fist 10,000 is a name for the hand to hand system of the warrior clan of Soon.  Its development began approximately 1,500 years ago with the start of the clan.  It is a kung fu system designed to train you to face highly adverse situations and ingrain in you the behaviors necessary for success in life.  The art specializes in one against many combat situations, the most common self-defense situation.

Physically, it has moves similar to most other striking martial arts.  There are, however, two large, easily recognized differences from other striking arts.  The first difference is in the use of opponent controlling to position the body of the opponent so that it can be easily overwhelmed.  The second is in the extensive knowledge of human behavior.  The knowledge of human behavior is used for 5 purposes:

1. Learning to quickly and accurately read a person, so that you'll know how he is going to move.
2. Learning to quickly and accurately read a group, so that you'll know how the group itself is going to behave.
3. Gaining great insight into yourself, the tendencies you possess, and the behaviors you'll exhibit under stress.
4. Learning how to control yourself, and modify your behaviors as you need to to succeed in a given situation.
5. Creating highly efficient and balanced training systems that allow you to develop high level skill quickly.

Training is guided by a simple 4 part training model:

Technique	Body Control
