CSC\u00a0is a reflection of that understanding.<\/p>\n<p>CSC\u00a0recognizes that the path to martial mastery is a long one and not everyone chooses to walk that road. There is the shorter path &#8211; and while it does not preclude eventual mastery, <strong>it should lead to optimal practical fighting ability in the least time<\/strong>.<\/div> <div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-third\">\n<p>In this class, the training provides increased functionality and capacity with the intention to <strong>build a better fighter &#8211; in the short term<\/strong>. The focus is on key attributes, internalizing core skills, building foundations, and increasing strength, power, and intensity. And of course you can then leverage those attributes into the longer path to mastery too, accelerating your advancement, retention, focus, and skills. <\/div> <div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-third ezcol-last\">\n<p>The CSC\u00a0has a <strong>blended and open curriculum<\/strong>. This means it will cover a wide range of skills from <strong>empty-hand through weapons<\/strong>, from the ground on up. It will also take advantage of the the broad range of skills and arts in the background of your instructors at maelstr\u00f8m, so the CSC\u00a0can introduce you to some new skills and methodologies not always a part of our regular programs.<\/div><div class=\"ezcol-divider\"><\/div>\n<\/div><!-- .tab (end) -->\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><div id=\"tab2\" class=\"tab\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>What is different from regular classes?<\/h4>\n<div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half\">CSC is designed to both complement and supplement regular classes.<\/p>\n<p>All our classes <strong>build a set of combative attributes,<\/strong> so they overlap in many places. The core skills we will focus on in CSC\u00a0are <strong>not different<\/strong> from those in the regular programs, they are just <strong>more focused<\/strong> on a practically oriented subset.<\/p>\n<p>What that means is a <strong>focus on fundamental tools and fundamental skills<\/strong>. And it will be a blend of empty hand and weapons skills, and a blend of all ranges from long range to grappling.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it as a <strong>re-prioritization of attribute training<\/strong> to bring out different things, quicker, at an earlier time in your training.<\/p>\n<p>The classes will likely feel<strong> simpler, grittier, more self-defence or street-oriented<\/strong><\/div> <div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half ezcol-last\">\n<p>CSC also has\u00a0more of a\u00a0<strong>short term\u00a0<\/strong>orientation. Each class, or short arc of classes, will provide you with material that you can add to your toolbox immediately. Normally\u00a0a martial art\u00a0incorporates skillsets that takes years to develop and master and that may not always be combatively functional in the short term.\u00a0 The goal is to help you <strong>fight better now<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>CSC will also seek to <strong>broaden the base of attributes and skills<\/strong> and introduce material beyond the range of the main training program. Grappling elements, improvised weapon use, and striking from other arts and approaches may be used. Core skills also include aspects of fitness, stretching, healing\u00a0and recovery techniques, conditioning, and the like.<\/p>\n<p>Core Skills will make you a better fighter faster.\u00a0 Aas well as\u00a0prepare you for the longer road to mastery.<\/div><div class=\"ezcol-divider\"><\/div>\n<\/div><!-- .tab (end) -->\n<div id=\"tab3\" class=\"tab\">\n<h4>How does it impact my regular training?<\/h4>\n<div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half\">There\u00a0is plenty of overlap between the CSC\u00a0and regular classes.<\/p>\n<p>You will often see the same material and methods used in both. For those that are on the long path to mastery, the CSC\u00a0provides you with a chance to separate out portions of the more complex drills and sequences we work in regular class and <strong>really focus down on the fundamental attributes<\/strong> that make it all work.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really just a matter of simplifying and paring down in the short term so that you can <strong>re-integrate the skills into the regular classes<\/strong> and then re-focus on the bigger picture.<\/div> <div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half ezcol-last\">\n<p>It is also a chance to <strong>approach things in a different way<\/strong>. Sometimes learning the same core skill from an alternate\u00a0direction can create those wonderful &#8220;eureka&#8221; moments that help to crystallize things we have worked on for years via other methods.<\/p>\n<p>If nothing else, it&#8217;s a great chance to get in the reps needed to build that ever important <strong>muscle memory<\/strong>!<\/div><div class=\"ezcol-divider\"><\/div>\n<\/div><!-- .tab (end) --> <\/div><!-- .tab-wrapper (end) --><\/div><!-- .tabs (end) -->\n<div class=\"hr\"><!-- --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Introducing the Core Skills\u00a0Class (CSC) at maelstr\u00f8m &nbsp; For more info see the FAQ answers below, or speak to an instructor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"page-fullwidth.php","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/maelstromcore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1543"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/maelstromcore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/maelstromcore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/maelstromcore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/maelstromcore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1543"}],"version-history":[{"count":82,"href":"http:\/\/maelstromcore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1543\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1596,"href":"http:\/\/maelstromcore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1543\/revisions\/1596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/maelstromcore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
