Our Philosophy
At Warriors Fusion, we believe the true purpose of martial arts study is self-cultivation. Through his/her training, the martial artist seeks to unify the actions of mind, body, and spirit. As mind, body, and spirit are brought into harmony by martial training, one begins to perceive this harmony in the surrounding world as well as within oneself. As self-knowledge is deepened, the Tao, or nature, of all things is gradually revealed. This quest for knowledge of the self and the world is the ultimate in true martial arts. "Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories." - Sun Tzu At Warriors Fusion, we seek to continue in this ancient warrior tradition. Rather than limit our repertoire and our potential as some so-called 'traditionalists' do, we constantly seek to expand and improve upon our martial art. This quest for constant expansion and growth is the true warrior tradition. The core of our system is taken from Shaolin Kung Fu (which is itself a composite of many different arts—as are all true traditional martial arts), but as at Shaolin Temple, we draw from numerous different styles and disciplines in order to develop the most complete martial art possible. Techniques and training methods from Tae Kwan Do, western boxing, yoga, Tai Chi, Judo, Eagle Claw Kung Fu, sport-fighting MMA(mixed martial arts), and more are incorporated into our training (and fighting) wherever and whenever they are effective. At Warriors Fusion our goal is unification through common principles-- not division and limitation created by perceived differences. We know that all true traditional martial arts (and artists) operate on the same principles. By understanding and sharing these principles, we seek to return traditional martial arts to its true purpose-- helping people develop the self-mastery to lead happier, healthier, and more effective lives. If you think you or your organization share these goals, please read on. Our web pages provide many training tools, links, and articles that we think you'll find useful. |
