Cun Tao

Cun Tao (Fist Way) is the "beginners class" . It is meant to slowly bring the new student into the art. It teaches the student basic strikes, kicks, and animal movements, but mainly focuses on self defense. The self defense portion of Cun Tao (also called "holds") is largely a series of over 100 quick reactions and defenses to common attacks, such as if someone is choking you or if someone attempts to shove you to the ground.

Completion of Cun Tao involves performing to a degree of accuracy all of the "holds" in a rehearsed manner in under six minutes.

There is also a separate rank of black belt (known as a Cun Tao black belt) for those who are extremely proficient with their holds.

Once a student has completed Cun Tao they are inducted into 3rd phase - Poekoelan Tjimindie.
