Our Weapons CurriculumThe BroadswordThe Broadsword - also known as 'Dao' in Chinese; is essentially the beginner’s short weapon. It consists of short range cutting, slashing, hacking, chopping, thrusting and blocking techniques.
It incorporates swift movements, stance alignment, and focuses on the beginner's stage of developing the flow of movements, power and reflexes. The SpearThe Spear - known as one of 'The King of Weapons’; is widely recognised in the Jow Ga curriculum as one of the core weapon forms. Common features of the Chinese spear are the leaf shaped blade and red horse-hair tassel. It works defensively or offensively in both sharp long range techniques to short range blocks; it is a quick, light and agile weapon. Well known techniques in the Jow Ga Spear form include: Mei Yu Fan Shui, Cheurng, Sarp and Gork. The StaffThe Staff or Pole is extensively focused for allowing beginners to further develop techniques and incorporating stance and power.
Key features are the use of the short pole, long pole, or the double sided pole. The Staff has distinctive features such as thrusting, whacking, piercing, locking and trapping. It is used to attack key vital points of the body to disable, disarm or kill. The Double BroadswordsThe Double Broadswords are one of Jow Ga style's trademark short weapons. It consists of intermediate techniques such as the tornado, and chopping and blocking from left to right. 
It is from a family of single-edged blades and is known as 'The General of all Weapons’. It is seen as a powerful conditioning tool and a versatile weapon, with self-defence techniques transferable to similarly sized objects such as canes, baseball bats or cricket bats. The Double Tiger HooksThe Double Tiger Hooks are Sifu Tseng Gong Seng’s trademark weapon and is our Jow Ga School’s distinctive weapon form. This weapon is an advanced weapon consisting of hooking, rolling, trapping, blocking, and slashing.
The Double DaggersThe Double Daggers are a handy and deadly beginner’s weapon, hidden away from sight. It develops the core techniques and footwork required to move on to other intermediate weapons. It is a close quarter combat weapon, containing devastating techniques.
Some of the essential areas are thrusting, stabbing, slashing, jabbing and blocking techniques. It is a swift, fast, and concealed weapon form symbolizing courage in combat. Techniques are transferable to everyday items such as pocket knives, Stanley knives, scissors and knives in general. The Butterfly SwordsThe Butterfly Swords are used in conjunction with techniques of the Double Sabre form. As a double weapon form, this weapon has a much shorter range then the sabre, and consists of techniques to trap and lock the opponent’s weapon. It is an intermediate weapon. Sparring sets such as Double Sabre vs Spear can be replaced with Butterfly Swords vs Spear to allow for shorter range practice for the student. |
The Nine Ring HalbertThe Nine Ring Halbert is an intermediate form, normally used as a heavy weapon during historical Chinese war times. A truly strong, majestic weapon, it is able to withstand the slicing of boulders and has a swift and strong foundation.
The Tiger ForkThe Tiger Fork is an intermediate weapon form, consisting of jabbing, stabbing, trapping, panning, and many other defensive and offensive techniques to counter the opponent with the use of an ordinary traditional Chinese farmer’s tool.
It is a widely used weapon due to ordinary farmers needing it to defend themselves against animal predators, and fend off thieves stealing their crops. The Snake SpearThe Snake Spear was used by General Zhang Fei during the Three Kingdoms Period in China. It is respectably known for its long appearance, rapid strikes and swift agility. Main techniques are developed upon learning the Spear.
The form includes advanced movements from rapid changing stances and techniques. The red hair tassels are used to stop the blood from flowing onto the pole when thrusting into the enemies; it acts as a pointer and is used to intimidate the enemy. The Heaven Splitting LanceThe Heaven Splitting Lance was used by Lu Bu, one of the greatest warriors of the Three Kingdoms Period in 184–280. It has a combination of moves from the spear with direct thrusts, and from the halbert with slices and cuts.
The core components of the weapon include the agility, swiftness and accuracy in cutting the opponent, slicing them and piercing through them with a combination of techniques from the spear and the nine ring halbert. The Double Headed SpearThe Double Headed Spear is a deadly weapon from both ends. Utilising the weapon's double ends, it is well designed as a defensive weapon, protecting on all sides.
It contains core techniques, drills, applications and stance work from the spear. The double headed spear is commonly seen in the Chinese opera, in a shorter version of the double headed spear. The Guan DaoThe Guan Dao also known as General Guan Yu's Halbert is one of the famous weapon forms incorporating General Guan Yu's historical times during the Three Kingdoms Period. Mighty power, strong stances, and advanced techniques are part of this form.
It is the penultimate weapon to be learned in the curriculum, also known as Sifu's weapon. Jow Ga's Guan Dao form depicts Lord Guan's passing of the five gates and slaying of the 6 generals during his time escaping Wei. The Double Chain WhipsThe Double Chain Whips are an advanced weapon consisting of several metal rods, which are joined end-to-end by rings to form a flexible chain. The whip has a handle at one end and a metal dart, used for slashing or piercing an opponent.
The Double Chain Whips are usually shorter for close quarter combat, and can be hidden as a belt. Techniques include circling, piercing and locking. |
This is one of the last short weapons to be taught on our weapons curriculum, and is known as our most treasured weapon form.
Slicing, cutting and chopping are all part of the techniques in the form. The nine rings represent the trapping of long weapons, as well as the sound they make to intimidate the enemy.

What does each Kung Fu lesson consist of?Warm Up & StretchingWe start off by warming up and stretching before stance training takes place. It is important to stretch before we set off into more training, since this helps prevent further injuries and increases the flexibility of muscles.
Stance TrainingStance training is the foundation of all techniques and movements, as well as one of the most important key elements to the successful progression and advancement in Jow Ga Kung Fu. Stances include the Horse stance, Cat stance, Cross stance, Bow & Arrow stance, Sinking Stance, Kneeling Stance and Crane stance.
Drills & ConditioningThese provide extra foundation to training. Drills focus on reflexes by practicing techniques for Trapping, Grappling, Tapping, Locking, Punching, Blocking and Pushing. While conditioning would be the strengthening of the body such through Three Stars, Bridge Hand and basic exercises such as push ups and sit ups.
Forms, Techniques & ApplicationsThis involves learning the forms and breaking down each technique in the form. Each technique is trained in a repetitive manner along with its single or multiple applications.
Weapons TrainingThis consists of a broad range of techniques ranging from single weapons, double weapons, long weapons as well as soft weapons. Weapons sparring sets are included as well as weapon specific drills. Our Curriculum & Grading System |
