The Sun Salute
The standard “sun salute” is a great warm-up before you start training. It is a gentle sequence of poses and postures that will acclimate you to VSCK body angulation.
The Pendulum
The Pendulum is the cornerstone of third-generation VSCK. It is a tool, a way of learning, created by Sonny Umpad. It involves cooperatively oscillating partners’ entries and exits to explore and hone skills with quality repetitions.
