Free live Release Workshop
Let go of tension. Let real power through.
In this free 2-hour live workshop, Sifu John shows you how to find and release the hidden tension in your shoulders, neck, hips and back, so force can travel through your whole body instead of getting stuck at the joints. Not more effort. Less interference.

What you will learn
Notice. Release. Let it flow.
Most people hold tension they don’t even know is there, and call it strength. Release works the other way: when the grip lets go, your whole body can move as one and power flows through you instead of getting trapped.
Notice the grip
Find the tension you carry without realising it: shoulders up, jaw tight, hips locked, breath held.
Release it
Let that tension go without collapsing, so your frame stays upright and supported while the muscles stop fighting it.
Let power flow
With nothing blocking it, force travels through the whole body, so you move faster and hit harder with far less effort.
The core choice
Tension vs Release
This isn’t about going floppy. It’s about letting go of what you don’t need, so what’s left can work as one.
Holding tension
- Shoulders, neck and jaw locked up
- Power blocked at the joints
- Stiff, slow and easy to read
- Tension builds up as you age
Using release
- Relaxed without collapsing
- Force flowing through the whole body
- Fast, light and hard to read
- More power with less effort
If you have to tense up to feel strong, the tension is what’s holding you back.
Two hours. Live. Free. Feel what your body can do when it stops fighting itself.
Who it’s for
One release. Every part of life.
For combat
Stay loose under pressure so a push or grab finds nothing rigid to move, and strike with relaxed, whole-body power.
For movement
Move freely instead of fighting your own body, so every step and turn takes less effort.
For everyday life
Let go of the shoulder, neck and back tension you carry all day, so your body stays strong and easy for longer.
Sifu John Cogan
Meet your teacher
A lifetime asking one question: where does real power come from?
For Sifu John Cogan, true power is not tension, aggression or the ability to overpower another man. It is the ability to stay connected, clear and composed under pressure, and to access strength without unnecessary force.
His search took him to Hong Kong, into the internal principles of Wing Chun in the lineage of Ip Man and Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin. There he saw that strength doesn’t come from contracting harder. Power emerges when unnecessary tension is released and the body is organised to work as one.
