Beyond the Linear is a session-long immersion into spiral and circular motion through the lens of phrases from Kajukenbo forms and our Chinese-influenced sets. Designed with martial artists whose training has been rooted in direct, traditional, and linear systems in mind, we will explore the flow, adaptability, easeful power, and redirection circular motion offers. This is not about changing your style; it’s about welcoming and cultivating an expansive range of possibilities already within it.

Through forms sequences and partner work, participants will explore ways circular movements may soften unnecessary tension and open pathways for easeful defense. Rather than learning an entirely new form, this class focuses on expanding how you move—inviting the discovery of or sinking into more fluidity, ease, and options within your existing martial principles. Whether you are seasoned or newer to training, this movement lab offers a vibrant approach to step, rotate, and practice beyond the linear.
