Once upon a time, monks and sages studied and refined the martial arts into a practice for enlightenment. Then time of peace turned to time of strife. The martial arts were passed onto people who would fight for a better future. After the revolutions, people in turn shared their martial arts to the world which became what we know of today.

In today’s world, we once again have an opportunity to benefit from the original purposes of the practice. To become stronger, to become braver, to become wiser. To become both better prepared to face the challenges our world presents and to prepare our body to house our highest self.
