SHIP PAL GYE means 18 weapons. This style incorporates all
of the traditional Chinese weapons numbering well over one
hundred. An important part of SHIP PAL GYE involves weaponless
movements. These movements develop the strength, coordination
and timing necessary to be able to practice with actual weapons
without accident or injury. There are three basic stages to
weapon training. First, it is necessary to prepare the body
to be able to handle the weapon. Secondly, practice begins
with the weapon with the initial movements being very simple
and basic. Once comfortable with the weapon, the final stage
is to practice a long series of movements until the weapon,
the movement and the body are one.
Benefits:
SHIP PAL GYE can develop an individual five times faster than without
a weapon. Speed, agility, strength and endurance are all enhanced
through proper SHIP PAL GYE movement.
