All classes run by Kelley Graham. Sifu Graham has developed the UnCarved Block Program to help others be more relaxed and comfortable. The phrase ‘Return To The UnCarved Block’ comes from the Chan (Zen) idea of rediscovering your natural power and grace. The UCB Program is a complete integrative system, practice ranges from gentle non-confrontational qigong & formwork to deep stretching and vigorous partner training. The Health, Fitness and Martial aspects of the system are complimentary and interest in health does not require that you pursue the martial.
