Session I: Shen Wu Grappling & Counter Grappling
Saturday 12noon – 3pm
Drawing from his latest DVD project on standing grappling and counter grappling (see preview at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuP6cApKAD8 ) Tim will present theories, principles, and of course applications dealing with various stand up grappling scenarios one is most likely to encounter in self defense situations. Including head locks, body locks, chokes, as well as various throws and takedowns.
Great for women, men, and martial practitioners of all levels of experience this seminar will prepare you for common situations found in modern day altercations such as:
• Easy to apply escapes and counters
• Utilizing leverage in lieu of brute strength
• Debunking common myths such as groin strikes and eye pokes
• Avoiding ground fighting
• Takedown prevention
And much, much more……..
SESSION II: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Saturday 5-8pm
Learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from one of the best! Tim has proven his skills on numerous occasions winning the Copa Pacifica seven times, the Pan Am’s twice, and taking Silver in the World Championships 2005 held in Brazil! This seminar will improve your BJJ game adding more tools to your arsenal, or teaching you the basics of fighting on the ground if you are new to this popular art.
• Various submissions will be explored and taught in great detail
• Learn the importance of hip placement and control
• Improve your ground game as a grappler, mixed martial artist, or for self defense situations
• Tim will combine principle, theory, and application into one coherent workshop
SESSION III & SESSION IV: 13 POSTURES OF TAIJI
Sunday: 10am – 1pm & 2-5pm
This seminar will clarify a lot of the mystery surrounding the theories and principles of Taiji regardless of style. Tim will translate concepts such as Peng, Liu, Ji, An etc. into simple to understand, easy to apply principles using modern day combative scenarios. Taiji has always been considered a very effective martial art consisting of 80% grappling, yet many practitioners have never been taught the combative aspects of this beautiful martial art. While many talk of understanding the deep theories, few can actually apply them in real time scenarios. Join us and learn…..
• Discover hidden applications within your practice
• Simple to understand methods and applications to the 13 Postures
• Learn to effectively uproot your opponent
• Understand why Taiji is considered one of the most powerful martial arts
• Improve your push hands practice, as well as your self defense applications
About the Instructor:
Tim Cartmell has become one of the most sought after teachers of martial combative’s in North America. Spending over 10 years in Taiwan and China training with some of the best fighters the Chinese Martial Arts had to offer, as well as fighting (and winning) several full contact fights. Tim then came back to California to immerse himself in training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu because he realized that although his stand up fighting was good, he was ignorant on the ground. Eight years later he has become Cleber Luciano’s only black belt with numerous wins at the Copa, along with silver in the Mundials (World Championships of BJJ in Brazil) in 2005.
Over the past 30 years Tim Cartmell has studied the arts of Xing Yi (Hebei / Shanxi), Bagua (Luo Dexiu’s disciple), San Soo, Taiji (Sun / Chen / Yang), as well as various systems of grappling.
Tim has authored “Effortless Combat Throws,” co-authored “Passing the Guard” and “Xing Yi Nei Gong,” as well as translated Zhao Da Yuan’s pinnacle joint manipulation book “Practical Chin Na,” Dong Zhong Yi’s classic Shuai Chiao text “The Method of Chinese Wrestling,” and the only English translation of Sun Lu Tang’s historic “A Study of Taijiquan.” His current project is a series of DVD’s on Clinch fighting, and stand up grappling.
Tim continues to teach fulltime in Huntington Beach, CA. offering lessons in mixed martial arts incorporating the stand up techniques of Bagua, Xing Yi, and Taiji along with the ground strategy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to create the Shen Wu system of modern day combative’s.
