How to Enter
Two Ways to Train
Whether you want to explore a specific aspect of Chow Gar or commit to the full system, there is a clear entry point for you.
The Complete System

This is the complete system — followed step by step.
- 5 progressive modules
- Sash progression (White → Red/Gray)
- Milestone-based structure
- Lifetime access per module
- Path to instructor level
Targeted Training
Exploration Path

The 5 Modules
Each module is a complete training stage. Buy individually, in sequence, at your own pace.
Follow the phases in order. Each module prepares the next.
Get a Taste of It
This initial module lays the groundwork of the entire Chow Gar system. It focuses on building your body frame, teaching you essential concepts, and introducing powerful strengthening exercises. You will learn the core hand techniques of the system and the vital Chi Kung exercise, Saam Bo Gin (Three Steps Arrow Punch) — the central practice that underpins everything that follows.
What You Will Learn
- 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
Who This Is For
Complete beginners with no prior Kung Fu experience, or practitioners from other styles who want to understand the Chow Gar foundation.
Feel and Understand
This module expands your ability to sense and interpret internal sensations — the critical skill for all internal work. You will learn to apply principles independently, recognizing inner sensations to guide your actions. This stage integrates internal concepts with practical Chi Kung exercises, deepening your understanding of how power is generated and transmitted. Available with subtitles in 9 languages.
What You Will Learn
- How to distinguish muscular force from Ging
- Internal awareness during Chi Kung practice
- Independent application of structural principles
- Deeper integration of Saam Bo Gin and core techniques
- Self-correction through internal feedback
Who This Is For
Students who have completed Module 1 and want to move from mechanical execution to genuine internal understanding.
Get the Power
Building on the theories and tools from the previous modules, this stage focuses on enhancing your strength and developing the ability to observe different power types and levels within yourself. You will strengthen your foundation and learn to identify faults in your power chain. The ability to self-observe during practice is emphasized — this is the crucial skill for ongoing self-directed improvement.
What You Will Learn
- Identifying and developing your personal power chain
- Short-range explosive power generation
- Self-observation techniques during solo practice
- Identifying and correcting power leaks
- Partner drills for power under pressure
Who This Is For
Students who have completed Module 2 and are ready to move from understanding power to actively developing and measuring it.
Shake off the Bridge
This module acts as a precision tool to sharpen your martial arts skills and deepen understanding of body dynamics. The focus is on refining and releasing built-up power — not adding more, but perfecting the delivery of what you have already developed. You will receive detailed feedback frameworks to perfect your techniques, ultimately enhancing your overall martial arts mastery.
What You Will Learn
- Releasing power without losing structural integrity
- Precision in short-range strikes and bridge techniques
- Full-body wave mechanics — hip to fingertip
- Timing and rhythm in power release
- Advanced forms practice with refined power expression
Who This Is For
Students who have completed Module 3 and are ready to move from raw power development to precision and refinement.
The Way of the Mantis
While it may appear that this is the culmination of your journey, it is in fact the beginning of a new era. At this stage you have developed significant power and control. Now it is time to further refine your skills by mastering forms that demand deep foundational understanding, and to become proficient with the weapons of the system — including the Poison Snake Pole Form and the complete Fut Sao Buddhist Hand Form.
What You Will Learn
- 18 Dark Internal Hands (Sup Baat Um Geng Sao)
- Fut Sao — Buddhist Hand Form (complete)
- Five Element Pole Form and Poison Snake Pole Form
- Sei Ban Geng Tan and Lip Kiu Forms
- Chong sparring sequences and sensitivity push drills
Who This Is For
Students who have completed all four preceding modules and are ready to enter the advanced transmission of the system.
Exploration Path
Focused Short Courses
These courses support the system — or allow you to explore specific areas before committing to the full path.
Alongside the Transmission Path, MyChowGar offers a library of focused short courses covering specific aspects of the system — QiGong, internal training, hand forms, weapon forms, and conditioning. No prerequisites. Each course stands alone and can be started at any time.
QiGong & Internal Arts
18 Dark Internal Hands (十八暗勁手)
A focused internal training method from the Chow Gar system. Develops structure, breath coordination, and controlled internal power through a single, highly refined exercise. Supports all further internal development within the system.
Hand Forms
FUT SAO (佛手) - Buddhist Hand
A technical form centred on short-range power and continuous pressure. Develops efficient shock power through compact, precise movement. Represents the Buddhist Hand approach to close-range structural dominance.
Weapon Forms
Poison Snake Pole Form (毒蛇棍)
An advanced pole routine emphasising speed, precision, and fluid whip-like striking power. Develops the long-range expression of Chow Gar structural principles. Requires a solid foundation in the hand forms.
