Tie Gun, which translates literally "Iron Stick" is the melding of modern metallurgic technology with ancient studies in short stick fighting from several Kung Fu styles, and from other Martial Art systems including Escrima, Arnis, and Joong Bong to name a few.
At Level I, we studied Tie Gun where distance was a factor within our control. Here, at Level II, we will be studying the defensive aspects in which we do not have control over the proximity of our opponent: that is to say, when the attack begins inside our third perimeter. Ideally, we want to keep our opponent at or outside our first horizontal perimeter. Unfortunately that may not always be the case, so we must study defensive techniques which address this very critical proximity.
If you have tested for and earned your Level I Certificate, this Level II study is your next step. If you have not studied and become proficient at Level I, we strongly suggest you study Level I before delving into Level II. If you plan to submit a Level II test for certification, be aware that one of the requirements for the Level II Certificate is certification at the Level I study.
