“After years of training I can say this is a complete system — not a collection of techniques. The explanations go into the structural logic behind every movement. You start to understand why the body has to be positioned a certain way, why the conditioning work matters, what is actually being built. Nothing is there for decoration. Everything is designed to develop something real.”

What Happens After You Join
When you join Best Start, you do not unlock a set of videos. You receive a welcome email with clear instructions, enter the platform, and begin Phase One — the first real step in building your Chow Gar foundation.
Welcome email with clear instructions
You know exactly what to do from day one. No guessing, no navigating a content library.
Phase One — lessons in a clear, structured order
Stance, frame, structure, core techniques. Each lesson builds on the last. You move forward in the correct sequence.
Guided training sessions
Short sessions (10–20 min) after each lesson so the material becomes physical, not theoretical. Big training sessions (20–60 min) at milestones, covering all knowledge up to that point.
Integration sessions at key checkpoints
At defined points in the module, larger sessions bring together everything you have covered so far.
Bonus courses support the process directly
Standing Practice builds frame and root. Iron Body develops structure and conditioning. The Press-up method prepares the body for the work ahead. These are not extras — they run alongside Module 1.

Phase One Outcome
Saam Bo Gin — performed correctly
The goal of Phase One is not to have watched a course. It is to have built the structural and technical foundation of Chow Gar — and to be able to perform Saam Bo Gin, the system's most important foundational form, correctly and with real understanding.

“The method is well structured and the progression is real. After months of training I noticed genuine physical changes — my posture, the way I carry tension, how my body responds under pressure. Not what I expected from an online program. This is not a content library. It is a structured development path that actually accumulates.”

What You Get
Not a collection of courses. A structured system — each component supports the others. This is how Chow Gar is meant to be trained.
Learn the foundation of the entire system — structure, stance, and core methods
The full first phase of the Chow Gar transmission path. 57 lessons. Direct lineage instruction.
02Build the structure your power depends on
Foundation standing meditation and structural alignment. The internal base that makes every technique functional.
03Your first step into internal conditioning
You may already know Iron Body — now build the full system correctly. Iron Body teaches the body what structure feels like: the beginning of body mechanics. Included here as a conditioning reinforcement layer that runs alongside Module 1.
04Develop functional upper body strength the Chow Gar way
Chow Gar-specific press-up conditioning method. Not generic fitness — structural strength that supports the system.
You may already know Iron Body — now build the full system correctly.
Iron Body is a €39 standalone course. In Best Start, it is included as a conditioning reinforcement layer — not the core. The core is Module 1. The difference is structure.
Included
The full Phase I transmission — structure, stance, and core techniques
Standing practice from day one — the internal foundation of the system
Iron Body conditioning as a reinforcement layer, not an isolated exercise
Chow Gar-specific press-up method for functional upper body power
Sash progression tracking from day one
Direct lineage instruction from three disciples of Grandmaster Ip Chee Keung
Why This Combination
Module 1 teaches the core techniques of Phase I. But Chow Gar is an internal system — the techniques only work when the body has the right structural conditioning and internal development behind them.
Standing Practice develops the internal alignment that makes the techniques functional. The Press-up method develops the specific upper body power that Chow Gar requires. Iron Body conditioning reinforces the structural resilience the system demands.
These are not optional extras. They are the supporting practices that make Module 1 training complete. Training Module 1 without them is possible — but slower, and structurally incomplete.
Curriculum Support
Ask Sifu is a curriculum-based support tool trained on the Tung Kong lineage. It is not a human instructor. It does not replace the members group or instructor feedback. What it does is help you keep moving when something in the curriculum is unclear — so you do not get stuck waiting for an answer before you can continue training.
Every Best Start purchase includes Ask Sifu access. Ask a question about a technique, a principle, or a concept from the curriculum — and get an answer drawn from the system, not from a generic knowledge base.
Want structured lesson-by-lesson guidance?
MyChowGar Plus gives you a clear path forward for every lesson.
Not just answers to questions — a structured development path. What to focus on, what to develop, what to avoid at each stage. Available as an upgrade once you are inside.
“The best online Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu resource bar none. Whoever wants to enter SPM and does not have regular access to a proper Sifu: this course is the thing. Absolutely worth the money.”

“I also attest that the method is pretty well planned within the online program and the guidance of this group took me far. Even more than I expected. I never felt this good with myself and my physical shape in years. The program is a great opportunity for people like me that couldn’t find a school nearby.”
