Free Self Defense Seminar with Coach Ross: Grow your Confidence!

In honor of National Self-Defense Awareness Month, we’re thrilled to host a special Self-Defense Essentials Seminar led by our very own Coach Ross.
In my own Spiritual Journey I have had an on again off again relationship with the Martial Arts. I have valued the training and the discipline, but would always get caught up in why I was learning how combative arts on my quest for freedom and inner peace.

Currently I am once again in love with these arts and the confidence they instill. It is integral that we learn how to embody our strength and enforce our boundaries energetically by working with the grounded vehicle of the body and the direct feedback that the martial arts allows. I am excited to deepen my personal practice and the transferable skill of holding firm in my boundaries and sovereignty at East Cloud.

East Cloud is center for the Chinese Martial and Internal Arts that I've been training at since April. I've been meaning to find an event worthy of introducing this place of training and spiritual elevation to Spirit World, and this New Year is giving me the chance. Please check out their diverse offerings, including Taiji, Qigong, and a rich youth program:
