About Sifu Kelley Graham

"I think you'll be impressed with what he (Kelley) can do - in thirty long years of teaching, he is far and away my best student, the only one to whom I've been able to pass on EVERYTHING I know." - Michael Phillips

Kelley Butterfly Palm

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.

MMA, Kickboxers and other hard stylists will find that this training helps them cultivate 'Flow' and softness in their practice while still safely dealing with real world force and power.

Speed comes from relaxation and 'Flow' can help maintain relaxation under all conditions.

Training focuses on bringing awareness and power to the Point of Contact in order to control the Center of Mass to unbalance the opponent.

What People Are Saying...


Melissa

 I came into the class with a sore, stiff knee from a long hike over the weekend. I was hesitant to do that squat at the end of class but it completely cured my knee. No pain now at all. I would really like to continue this. Thanks! 


 
 My back has been sore for weeks and after the class I had a few hours with very little pain. I plan on continuing the training. Thanks for a great class Kelley.
