Training the Basics Through the Five Circles

Training the basics is more than repetition — it’s mindful practice. The Five Circles guide your discipline, focus, and awareness as you practice each fundamental movement.
Every repetition can be trained technically, mentally, and philosophically. The circles ensure training is never mechanical — it evolves with you.
