Wonderful training experience and sense of community at Prana Dynamic’s Workshop in New York, in late September 2023.
I attended my first Prana Dynamics workshop in late September 2023, following the completion of the six-month Prana Dynamics Master Class earlier that year. Having enjoyed and greatly benefitted from the Prana Dynamics Master’s Class, I was very much looking forward to meeting Howard Wang and his senior student, Drew Henry, to personally work on the drills and concepts taught in the Master Program. My experience at the workshop was very positive. My training partner and I both had many opportunities to work with Howard and his more advanced students personally. I believe I was able to better understand the concepts and drills taught in the Master Class and improve my internal martial arts skills.
Howard is an open and generous teacher. Throughout the workshop, he took the time to work with all the participants one-on-one. He was patient and caring expressing a desire for everyone to acquire the material and improve. The workshop followed Howard’s systematic approach to teaching internal martial arts skills and self-development as shown in the Master Class. I am really appreciative of Howard’s method which intertwines the teaching of internal arts and life principles with physical drills that allow the practitioner to work on embodying or manifesting these principles and ways of being. Without a doubt, Howard can express these principles powerfully through his martial arts abilities and kind and open personality.
Drew Henry was also a generous and fun teacher and host. He has impressively managed to acquire an advanced level of internal skills in Prana Dynamics within a very short period of time. Drew made himself available to clarify questions and work on drills throughout the workshop and after hours. It was great to see the effectiveness of Howard’s teachings as expressed by Drew.
The workshop also had a great sense of community and everyone there seemed to focus on learning the Prana Dynamic’s system and helping each other to improve. It was my impression that Howard really valued this sense of community and made efforts to develop and maintain that experience. If Howard’s teachings grab your attention, I highly recommend attending the Master Class and going to Howard’s workshops in person. Your efforts will surely yield results as you follow the guidance of Howard and his instructors. You will also have access to a welcoming and positive community striving toward the same goals.
