Lao Shr has had the
opportunity to train with some of China's most famous Masters.
What he learned has changed the way he views power, movement and fighting
application. He has focused his
training on using the mind and refined
power (advanced body mechanics and subtle bioenergetics), in
lieu of brute force. Lao Shr stresses the importance of
understanding the movement of energy by utilizing the
mind and its
power over our
psychological and physiological
attributes. He also dedicates his time to the study
Qi/Chi and its power in combat,
as well as its health benefits. Lao Shr specializes in real-time combat
application of the internal arts, including: sword combat, knife
fighting and unarmed defense. He has also trained
police officers and security personnel in firearm and knife
disarming.
By competing in full-contact
competitions and working as a security professional (as a bodyguard
and security personnel trainer), Lao Shr
Poindexter has had his martial arts training tested. Because
of Lao Shr's personal experience, Yi Tao Boxing School teaches more
than "theory" and "choreographed demonstrations"; we prepare
students for real-life situations. He
has developed a very unique and comprehensive teaching method to
help students understand complex concepts of internal
martial arts.
