CCFB is my experiences from all the countries that I have travelled, fought and tought at. CCFB is a system which born from Systems! They asked me if there is a curricullum in CCFB. The answer is yes. There are 6 Levels. The main influence comes from Chinese Northern Styles of Gung Fu and Filipino Panantukan or Dirty Boxing.
My deep knowledge in Gong fu helped me to understand better and teach the Filipino kinisiology. Chinese and Filipino systems have something common which called flow. From my personal experience flow is something very difficult to achieved by a beginner in martial arts. Even experience martial artists can have luck of flow in their movement and is more difficult to them to learn it because they have to "empty the cup of knowledge".
They keep asking me what is flow? For me flow is how comfortable you feel with your techniques and your enviroment. There plenty of exercises in CCFB to develop your flow and sensitivity. Developing your speed is another very important ability someone must have. I strongly believe that speed (with timing) bring the power you need to acheived your blow and I used as an example the "bullet". CCFB is always under development and research.
The Birth of the CCFB symbol
I created this symbol during my years in England in the house of my lifetime partner and friend Mark Cook, around 1994. Where I was needed a symbol to present me and the power of my system. It took me about 6 hours to designed it on a piece of A4 paper and resulted to an amazing symbol!!!
Circle is an ancient and universal symbol of unity, wholeness and infinity. It represents the "whole" and the no ending loop of knowledge, development and research. This is also the idea why I developed CCFB. The triangle is one of the strongest geometrical structures and stands for strength. Many training halls incorporate the triangle into their logo. It represents numerous underlying philosophical, theoretical and metaphysical principles in the Filipino martial arts. Applications of the triangle are found in defensive and offensive tactical strategies, including footwork, stances, blocking and disarms. The triangle in CCFB also symbolizes the triangle clan of the Shaolin temple. And here comes the mix of Chinese and Filipino styles.
Eagle represent the style of Eagle Claw Gung fu I was doing for several years. Dragon is a generic style that represents Gung Fu itself. These two animals have something in common..... powerful CLAWS!!!!! So pressure points it's a very important aspect of my teachings. Human anatomy goes with the pack.
What Bruce Lee said once "Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own" Expose yourself to various conditions and learn. This is CCFB this is my art, this is my Gong Fu.
