BOW INSTRUCTIONS

BOA LONG FORM

This is Boa long form being done by an expectant mother at 7 months. The Boa represents the feminine aspect of self, I hope you enjoy the intrinsic beauty and vulnerability of these images. It is a beautiful reminder of how fragile we and the spiritual purpose of martial arts are.

PYTHON SNAPPING TWIG

Python Snapping Twig demonstrates short-range techniques, such as blocks, arm locks, close-in strikes. This clip was taken after several run throughs, and I was being asked to slow down and “sink more into the holds.”

TIGER PUNCHING FORM

Tiger’s power emphasizes the glutes, quads, and lats, and is done with high isometric tension, as if every move has to push a heavy weight.

BOA LONG FORM

Boa emphasizes fluid, relaxed motion. The practice of any sport can be enhanced by practicing this form which will help you to relax your body. When your body is relaxed, the body moves in the natural spirals it is meant to.

TIGER KICKING FORM

This form features powerful thrusting kicks, stable stances and a repertoire of punches and blocks which convey the power and the square structure Tiger favors.

BLACK PANTHER 2

Black Panther moves from pure instinct, sensuality and reaction.

SUB-EARTH DRAGON YOGA

Marcus McDonough performs Sub-Earth Dragon Yoga, a unique style of yoga, integrating the qualities of the Black Panther and Python.
