Discover how martial arts becomes a path of Zen—cultivating mindfulness, wisdom, and inner strength through embodied practice.
About this Event

Join us for Zen and the Martial Arts, a unique seminar exploring how martial practice can become a living expression of Zen. Led by Sifu Alex—ordained in the Zen Order of the Boundless Way and a lifelong martial artist—this immersive session integrates meditation, martial form, and spiritual reflection.

Through sitting and walking meditation, mindful movement, and practical martial exercises, you'll learn how discipline, etiquette, and physical technique can become vehicles for awakening. We'll explore key principles from Zen Buddhism, including the Eightfold Path and the Six Perfections, in a down-to-earth, embodied way.

Whether you're new to Zen or a seasoned martial artist, this experience invites you to deepen your practice, refine your presence, and align body, mind, and spirit.
