Wu chan
The literal translation of Wu Chan is "martial meditation," and it is my firm belief that all martial artists should meditate on every aspect of their chosen art. This philosophy encourages practitioners to go beyond physical techniques and delve into the mental and spiritual dimensions of martial arts. At Mark Warner's PMA, we embrace Wu Chan as a guiding principle for all the arts we have integrated and train at our school.
Our training programs encompass a diverse range of martial arts, each with its unique techniques and philosophies. These include, but are not limited to, Northern Mantis Kung Fu, Shaolin Kung Fu, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Baringin Sakti Silat, and Dekiti Tirsia Siradas Kali. Each of these disciplines offers valuable insights and skills, and through the lens of Wu Chan, we encourage our students to explore these arts deeply.
Northern Mantis Kung Fu is known for its agility and precision, Shaolin Kung Fu for its strength and endurance, Wing Chun for its close combat techniques, Baringin Sakti Silat for its fluid and adaptive movements, and Dekiti Tirsia Siradas Kali for its effective use of weapons and practical self-defense strategies. By meditating on these diverse aspects, our students gain a holistic understanding of martial arts.
At Mark Warner's PMA, we believe that true mastery comes from integrating the mind, body, and spirit. Wu Chan serves as a foundation for this integration, ensuring that our students not only excel in physical prowess but also cultivate a mindful and reflective approach to their martial arts practice. This comprehensive perspective empowers them to become well-rounded martial artists and individuals.
