Martial Arts and Zen
Bringing Martial Arts back to it's roots
Martial Arts began thousands of years ago as a
physical art practiced by Buddhist monks. As
practice spread to the west, it became
"westernized" and the modern study of Martial
Arts is sadly missing the spiritual foundation
that kept the art alive for thousands of years.
At Eternal Source Tae Kwon Do we study
Martial Arts in the old style by bringing a strong
element of Zen tradition into the curriculum. We
focus on training one's emotional, mental and
spiritual self as much as their physical self. We
believe that the physical art is simply the path to
the greater goal of developing strong, confident,
peaceful and compassionate warriors.

True teachers use
themselves as bridges
over which they invite
their students to cross.
Then, having facilitated
their crossing, joyfully
collapse, encouraging
them to create bridges of
their own.
