Rising Crane

Perhaps you have purchased courses or videos before, but not been able to follow along or commit? Or you want to join a professional school, but there is none in your area, or the class timetable doesn't suit your schedule?

I have been thinking of the best way to teach online- after 30 years of being a professional instructor with 25 years owning my own full time academy- I have finally figured it out!

I can do this by limiting the intake, so that I can give individual feedback, help and training guidance to each online student. This is not purchasing a course, it is joining an academy.

The academy has three aspects: 

1. The Classroom.

This is  where you get access to weekly lessons, taught in a progressive manner from the fundamental movements to the most advanced forms.

2: The community page. 

This is an interactive page where you can ask questions, upload videos for me to give you individual correction and feedback, as well as interact with fellow students, to help each other.

The community is inside the academy, and is completely private, so you do not need to go on Facebook or other sites to access it.

Also, within the community page you will see links to our third part:

3) Individual video correction and feedback.

This is perhaps the most valuable part of the academy: Film what you are working on with your phone, send me a link, and I will shoot you a personal video- with three suggestions of how to improve, and what to work on. This takes all the guesswork out and is a chance to pick up details you may have missed in the weekly lesson. This can be shared in the community, or kept entirely private if you prefer.

The  video can be downloaded onto your computer to keep for your reference.

Filming yourself is entirely optional, you do not need to do this if you prefer to work alone.

I found this to be more valuable than 'Zoom' lessons, because you don't need to commit to a particular time that may not be convenient, and the reply is specific to each individual student- so you don't need to worry about keeping up with a class, or being held back.

4: Testing and Certificates: 

This is optional- if you want an official Rising Crane Certificate at the end of each level, you can video yourself, send it to me and I will send you your certificate.

As you can see-:this is not your typical course- it is an interactive community that will be the closest thing to training in my school- with the same classes and curriculum, but much cheaper and at your convenience.

One of the greatest joys in my life is the friendships I have made through travelling the world learning and teaching. With a 'Virtual Academy' I will be able to teach classes from all over the world and have some amazing guest instructors including Kung Fu master Rik Kellerman from Ten Tigers Academy  in New York, Pavel Macek- master level strength and conditioning coach, and head of 'Practical Hung Kyun' as well as my incredible Kung Fu family in Hong Kong and China. There are other instructors to be announced. As a member, you will have access to these wonderful teachers as I film my training and put bonus lessons on the online academy.

I recommend trying my free courses and short courses first, to give you a taste of the style, and when you are ready to join the 'online academy'- you can join and get started with your first lessons.

  Hope to see you in the class,

David Rogers Sifu,

Chief Instructor.
