Instructional Material

 Online Instructional Supplemental Material

This system must be learned with a person to person component to be successful. In the interest of time, memory and documentation many efforts are underway to document the system and offer online material for existing students and instructors to use for their review and further refinement of skill and knowledge. 

If you are a current or former student or instructor there are some materials that you can purchase from 5th Step Kyle Whiteley. You must be a student in good standing and vouched for by a member of the Tang Wei Martial Arts Association. 

Generally these instructional materials will have both detailed notes as well as videos to allow effective review. They are not generally meant as stand alone instructionals but rather as supplements for review for those that learned the material in person. 

Some material, particularly the self mastery, health and fitness material can be learned without in person instruction. Martial concepts such as power concepts, techniques and tactics really must be learned in person but can be reviewed or refreshed with online supplementary materials. That is the intent of the library of materials listed below. 

Reach out to me at Tangweimartialarts@gmail.com with requests. I will verify who is making the request and talk to you by phone or email in some cases. I will then ensure you have access to the materials and give you payment instructions through paypal, venmo, zelle, etc. If you are taking classes with me in person then you can just let me know in person and we can work it out that way. Some videos may be rank restricted to Post 1st Step students.

Generally, if instructionals are not satisfactory for you, I will take that into consideration to either refund the money or to improve the quality of the material so that it works for you. Also as time goes on and new videos are filmed that provide better instruction material it will either be added to an existing program or offered as a new program depending on the amount of hours it takes to film and edit the footage.
