In our experience, Shen Chuan is the most powerful internal energy based martial enhancing system we've ever …

We all need to make a living, mouths to feed, etc., so I am not blaming the creatives in our society. But, I believe those with artistic talent or philosophical wisdom need to come together to help improve 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 become so familiar with your training partners' energies that training drifts further and further away from real life and almost becomes a sort of cooperative dance.

So this group is a chance for like minded souls on a quest for martial betterment to practice with other …
