The Advanced level at Kula is both wide and broad. Our roots draw and integrate important tools from each of the primary oriental martial art lineages: from the Chinese we take Tai Chi and Hung Gar Kung Fu; From Korea we take pre-sport TaeKwonDo and Hapkido; and from Okinawa/Japan we take Shorin Ryu Karate and Judo / Jiu Jitsu. We move from soft and circular technique to hard and linear. From subtlety to power and back.
