Martial Art for Personal Growth

Are you interested in a fitness program that encourages self development? Or a self development program that encourages physical fitness?

Have you tried fitness programs before and abandoned them as boring repetitions of strenuous activity?

The martial arts are fitness programs that engage you in a lifelong course of self improvement. Unlike other fitness programs, internal martial art practice will not grow stale or become trivial. Space and time will not be a factor because you can practice anywhere, anytime, and define your own development.

Selling martial arts as a method for self defense has been popular, but the time and training needed to apply the martial arts in fighting is greater than the average student is ready to undertake. There is violence and danger in the modern world, but the human race has developed institutions and technologies to enhance individual safety. Take advantage of tools like security alarms, pepper spray and a taser for self defense. Practice martial arts for personal growth and as a healthy lifestyle.

My first book, Earth Dragon Canon: Walking, Martial Arts, and Self Evolution is an excellent introduction to the internal martial arts. This book is a pragmatic approach to the fundamentals of internal martial art practice. If you think martial arts are just for fighting, you’re wrong! Using martial art practice as a means of physical fitness began centuries ago, and often the forms you see today were designed for fitness and personal growth over martial practice.

The Walking Circle is a community that focuses on the health and personal growth aspects of martial art practice.
