This course focuses on Kung Fu training for beginners at home and contains all of the foundation level modules: Paak Sao, Taan Sao and Gaan Sao.
Tao Te Kung Fu is a complete system that incorporates the most efficient techniques with modern teaching methods and adapted to help you learn Kung Fu training for beginners at home online.
Tao Te Kung Fu has been developed using techniques predominately from the Kung Fu style of Wing Chun. Unlike Traditional Wing Chun, in Tao Te Kung Fu the forms are easy to learn and incorporate the techniques in the way they will work in real life. “Tao Te” means the virtuous or powerful way, and refers to the development of the style within a modern context. There is always the danger that if one becomes entrenched in a tradition, eventually lessons look like some sort of historical re-enactment. Tao Te Kung Fu takes advantage of the most recent developments in the neuroscience of skill acquisition and includes influences from other traditions not available to earlier practitioners and is refreshed with decades of real-life experience in the security industry.
Because Tao Te Kung Fu was developed to enable a smaller, weaker fighter to overcome a larger and stronger opponent it is ideally suited to people of all sizes and ages. Not being dependent on vast strength, Tao Te Kung Fu puts an emphasis on efficient techniques, with functional biomechanics.
Paak Sao
The Paak Sao is one the primary blocks in Tao Te Kung Fu. It can be fast and powerful but also used solftly to deflect an attack. It defends the head and upper body from srikes or kicks. The form also covers palm strikes, the round kick, fundamental footwork and body mechanics.
What You’ll Learn
- The Paak Sao block – one of the three primary blocks, most often needed in real conflicts
- The round kick – one of the three primary kicks with an understanding of it’s relative strengths
- How to step with the greatest speed and tactical effect
- How to deliver a strike or kick with maximum effect using whole body dynamics
- Tactical use of kick variations to utilise optimal timing and targeting
- Use of a square stance for the most efficient defensive evasion and counter manoeuvres
- The overall strategy for finishing any real fight in the shortest possible time for your safety
Taan Sao
The Taan Sao is one the primary blocks in Tao Te Kung Fu. It is fast and can either powerful or soft as it deflects strikes to the head from straight or hook attacks which are perhaps the most common first strike. The form also covers palm strikes, the side kick, fundamental footwork and body mechanics.

The form also teaches the front kick, a very fast and strategic kick.

In this program in Kung Fu training for beginners at home, you will learn martial arts online through all of the 3 Foundation Level forms.
Each 8-part form is short enough to be remembered easily (this is martial arts, not memory training), and practiced until it can be done without thinking. Each form is put together in a way that if any part of it were used automatically, in a violent confrontation, it would deliver a conflict winning combination.
The program is set out for you to train every day using several short videos. Adding to your skills in easy to follow steps, you will build a foundation of superb combat skills that will become second nature to you.
Some videos are called Repeat Drills, these are of simple techniques that you need to learn so that you can do them without thinking. Once you press play, they will simply repeat continuously until you hit stop. This will enable you to practice each movement many times with a constant visual reference to help you get it right. You don’t want to practice until you get it right, you want to practice until you can’t get it wrong.
It is tempting to rush ahead, but you will find that to learn these skills thoroughly, it is best that you master each part as you go even if that means repeating the same day several times. Excellence takes patience and determination. Remember “Kung Fu” means “mastery through discipline.”
