Through focusing on the essence and inner mechanics of internal martial arts, the primary objective of our program is to combine the physical training with systematic application of the universal teachings & essential meditation developmental tools from major schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Sufism. Martial arts alone cannot be a path toward personal transformation. We seek to elevate the practitioner from “marital skill” to “Martial Tao” by acknowledging and working through the multi-layers of “Martial Ego Syndromes”—the multiple physical/emotional/identity side-effects brought to the martial “artist” with imbalanced, “martial-only” training, commonly seen in today’s martial arts world.
