Kung Fu Toa is a persian martial art distinguished by powerfully acentuated and esthetic movements. Seeming almost like a dance the techniques allow countless combinations. It is a very beautiful and challanging martial art representing a great challange for every disciple of martial arts with its complex forms ("axis" and "lines") . Speed and flexibility are being trained as well as the ability to focus your power. Implementing the strength from the entire body the kicks and hitting combinations recieve their characteristic wavelike sequences which are intensified by numerous rotations. In the classes the different attack- and defense techniques are trained always considering their application. the single techniques are built up on each other and are a combination of action and reaction. Fluend transitions and the melting of the single techniques to one complete movement make it possible to reach an astonishing speed and optimal efectivity by using relatively little force. Kung Fu Toa comes from Iran, where the style was founded by Master Ibrahim Mirzaii in the beginning of the 70´s. Initially practised in the military the style rapidly became known and found many followers outside of the military. Kung Fu Toa is based on elements of traditional chinese Kung Fu. Like all asiatic martial arts also Kung fu Toa is aiming beyond the physical training for harmony between body and mind. Kung Fu Toa is taught all over the world.
