This branch of SHEN CHUAN, MARTIAL SCIENCE is oriented toward conditioning and utilizes aspects of sport and self-defense. It teaches the student to make contact, to move with the opponent, and lets the student know what it is like to be hit. Contact can be light, to medium, to heavy, depending on the level of training offered or requested. This system of Taekwondo differs from others in that it contains few forms and only practically realized ones. The concepts and basics of Shen Chuan self defense are taught within this system, but its main purpose is contact sparring. Those who train in this division are double ranked in Shen Chuan StreetBoxing as well as Maverick Taekwondo, the former by THE MAVERICK MARTIAL ARTS ASSOCIATION, and the latter by the INDEPENDENT TAEKWONDO ASSOCIATION. We are CHARTER MEMBERS of the INDEPENDENT TAEKWONDO ASSOCIATION.
