## The Awakening Cohort — Guided 10-Month Training Programme
URL: https://mychowgar.com/cohort

The Awakening Cohort is a guided 10-month training programme covering Phase 1 (Phase of Awakening) of the Chow Gar system. It is not a self-paced course — it is a structured cohort with weekly lessons, personal correction, and direct access to the instructor. Maximum 30 students per cohort. One start date: July 1, 2026.

### What the cohort includes
- Weekly structured lessons delivered over 10 months
- Personal correction and feedback from Zoltán
- Access to all 57 Phase 1 videos (13.5 hours of content)
- Live Q&A sessions
- Maximum 30 students — limited by design for quality of transmission
- Direct access to the instructor throughout the programme

### What Phase 1 builds
The frame is installed. Stance, footwork, breathing, and the first real foundations are built correctly. Starting here saves years of confused practice later.

### What you will learn in Phase 1
- Correct stance, footwork, and body structure
- Core hand techniques: Gin Choi, Bil Jee, Narp Sao, Tao Sao, Lim Chang Sao, and more
- Saam Bo Gin — the foundational Chi Kung form
- Short and Big Training Sessions for progressive conditioning
- The concept of Ging — Chow Gar's internal power

### The 5-Phase System
The Awakening Cohort covers Phase 1 in full. The complete system has 5 phases:
1. Phase of Awakening — Get a Taste of It (White → Green sash)
2. Phase of Transformation — Feel and Understand (Green → Blue sash)
3. Phase of Forging — Get the Power (Blue → Yellow sash)
4. Phase of Release — Shake off the Bridge (Yellow → Red sash)
5. Phase of Mastery — The Way of the Mantis (Red → advanced)

### Pricing
- Monthly: €97/month for 10 months (first charge July 1, 2026)
- Full programme: €870 one payment (10 months, one decision)
- Free reservation available until June 27, 2026 — no payment required to reserve a spot

### Why this cohort exists
Most online martial arts courses are self-paced video libraries. The Awakening Cohort is different: it is a transmission, not a subscription. The weekly structure forces correct sequencing. Personal correction prevents the accumulation of errors that self-paced students never catch. The 30-student limit ensures each student can receive real attention.
