Physical health, mental well-being and the relationships within your life; are these the most cherished aspects of your life? Yet, how much effort do we put towards improving these areas on a daily basis?

Many have used martial arts training as a method of learning to see one’s character as others see them. I feel that I can offer the priceless qualities of truth, honor and integrity with my instruction. You must seek the right teacher for you, because in time a student can become similar to their teacher. Through the training that I have experienced and offer to others, an individual can understand and hopefully reach their full potential.
By developing self-discipline to continuously execute and perfect sets of movements, an individual can start to understand not only how their being works physically but also mentally and emotionally. You can find your strengths and your weaknesses and improve them both. From here the self-control acquired can be used to accomplish any goal when properly motivated.
Happiness comes from finding the “master” within!
You may have many teachers throughout your life, but every individual has the ability to access the “master” within their own self. You are the master in control of your own reality. No amount of wealth or fame can make you truly happy if you are not healthy and value those around you. The following aspects are just one formula for a successful life. With a blueprint of how to achieve prosperity, how can you not become healthier within all facets of your life?

Respect
Discipline
Self Esteem
Confidence
Determination to Achieve Goals
Respect – This is where values begin. You must understand and have respect for yourself (self-respect) before you can demonstrate it to others. Taking the steps to take care of your physical and mental well-being effects you first and then those closest to you second.
Discipline – Developing control of one’s own desires, commitments, and ultimately your own actions, leads to self-discipline. Control of physical movements can lead to management of thought and emotion.
Self-Esteem – As you review your achievements of respect and discipline, your sense of worth is elevated and appreciated.
Confidence – Understanding and accepting your weak areas as well as your stronger aspects removes insecurity. When you feel that you are physically well and mentally sharp, confidence can fill your personality. You can accomplish whatever goal you set out to achieve. One should be careful not become arrogant with an increase in self-confidence.
Determination to Achieve Goals – The positive sum of the previous aspects leads to one’s determination. Good judgment and focused effort toward positive goals result in true personal success.

My training started at the age of 16 and has continued for over 21 years. During that time, I attended high school, then college, and worked 2 jobs all while pursuing further training in martial arts.
Ten years ago, I started up an additional business to help finance my next goal of owning my own school. I moved to Florida from the Midwest to make this goal a reality. Now, having had previous ownership in 2 martial schools, I have reached far beyond what I thought to have been my potential. Now, as a husband and father of 2 small children, I have no problem with expressing to an individual that they must be prepared to work hard mentally, physically and financially to earn their good health and well-being; not only for themselves but for their family as well.
The majority of the movements I teach are of Chinese origin. The core movements are from Kung Fu and its forms in Baguazhang and Ship Pal Gay (Korean Kung Fu and weapons training). Much of the self-defense training is from these styles plus Hapkido and Kong Su (Korean Karate). Each martial art can complement and enhance another. The more ways that use your body the better it is for your overall health.

SHIP PAL GYE or Ship Par Gay, is a Korean version of Chinese Shaolin Lohan Qigong, meaning “18 chi movements” or what were supposedly the original 18 drills that Bodhidharma introduced to the Shaolin monks. It is reputed to be the basis for the Shaolin Kung Fu, which in turn, greatly influenced the developments of all branches of Asian fighting arts. For the martial arts student it is essential to appreciate that Lohan Qigong is not just another Chinese exercise to be introduced to the West; it is possibly the original 'blueprint' for Shaolin Kung Fu, from which the more familiar Karate, Aikido, Jujitsu, Taekwondo, Tai Chi, Hsing I, Pakua, etc. systems evolved or drew inspiration.
Lohan Qigong is the ancient healing exercise created by Da Mo (Bodhidharma), the founder of Chan (Zen) Buddhism 1500 years ago. This gentle exercise is relaxing and energizing at the same time, with each set of movements designed to activate and cleanse the Dan Tien and particular acupuncture meridians. Training can benefit every internal and external muscle of the body (over 625), all joints and internal organs of the body. The circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems will perform better with proper instruction.
Legend has it that Bodhidharma spent nine years in meditation in a cave. During years of meditation he discovered that the lack of movement of his body and limbs over a long period of time, plus the bitter cold and wind around his mountain retreat caused fatigue, body aches and pains. His disciples also suffered the same problems and often dozed off during meditation. To combat those hazards Bodhidharma devised a set of exercises based on Indian yoga exercises, Chinese exercises of the time and his own observations of the natural movements of wild animals in their environment. Each movement was transformed into connecting movements for maximum strength and development for specific areas in the human body.
I have learned 8 Pal Gye sets taught within this system, forming a comprehensive system of progressively more advanced techniques towards gaining mastery of ones Qi (chi), or vital energy. Pal Gye is a prerequisite for a student to practice prior to practicing all Main Forms and Weapon forms.
