As many kids I started Karate in my early teens. Later I switched to Wing Tsung, which was trending at the time. Actual sparring brought me to Muay Thai.

In my mid 20´s my spiritual quest was the central point of my life. I studied Buddhist meditation methods like Vipassana. I also started to explore Yoga, Pranayama, Kriya Yoga, energetic healing and different spiritual systems like the Twisted Hair Sun Dance Path and quite some others. In this time martial arts were not predominant. I was truly focused on the inner work of meditation. I studied different tantric approaches from Vajrayana to Shivaism as well as Taoist practices. I continue to do so until this day.

A big revelation was the beginning of my Shaolin training. Many pieces of the puzzle came together to form a holistic picture. Martial arts and the spiritual path were no longer oppositions, they were actually one path. Chan Buddhism and the Shaolin art share the same root.

Master Shi Yang Liang showed me the traditional way and I took refuge at the temple and became Shaolin Instructor under his guidance. Shifu Kanishka from India gave me the knowledge on how to actually use the Shaolin Methods in combat. This was when the path became very clear for me.

Shenwarrior is the symbol of my work. This work has three aims and five pillars.

 

The three aims of the warrior:

Spiritual Mastery, perfect health and the ability to defend oneself.

 

The five practices of the warrior:

Mediation, Qi Gong, Rou Quan, Kung Fu and Sanshou.

 

After over 25 years of meditation practice and martial arts training and over 17 years of Shaolin Kung Fu, I always strive for perfection in myself and those who learn from me.

 

Mastery is a dynamic process; it is an attitude towards life!

This spark is the core of my teachings……

Let’s get in contact and see what we can achieve.
