Send to friendSifu Kelley Graham has developed the UnCarved Block Program to help students be more relaxed and at ease. The phrase ‘Return To The UnCarved Block’ comes from the Chan (Zen) idea of rediscovering your natural power and grace.
"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
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.
