Since its inception in the 1970s, it has dominated the kickboxing scene in the Philippines and has proven very effective against other stand-up fighting arts. Yaw-Yan closely resembles Muay Thai, but differs in the hip-torquing motion as well as the downward-cutting nature of its kicks, and the emphasis on delivering attacks from long ra …

The SSTT-MIT (San Shen Tan Tien – Metaphysical Internal Technology.) Shen Chuan Martial System "Shen Chuan" translates as "Spirit Fist" because it transforms the ordinary human body into a "Walking Lighting Bolt". Imagine trying to fight someone who has the power to "Zap" you with 10,000 volts of electric 'spirit' power. That's what it's like to go up against an SSTT Shen Chuan fighter. In our experience, Shen Chuan is the most powerful internal energy based martial enhancing system we've ever …

I am one of the few of his students on the West Coast, and perhaps the only direct student in Southern California. It is my intention to continue to promote and develop o …

If you've trained in martial arts for many years, you know the symptom of finding too much comfort in your own dojo.

You may feel very good and confident in your own style, but want to measure yourself against different ones. So this group is a chance for like minded souls on a quest for martial betterment to practice with other …

Our first goal will be to find each other and see what we want to do. Perhaps we would start by reading a play or two and seeing how we click. We can see where it goes from there... I would love to hear …

These gatherings often consciously followed Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate" ("aut delectare aut prodesse est"). Salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th century and 18th centuries, were car …
