About

Our symbol, the spiral, is one of the most ancient and universal of all images. It represents energy evolving from a starting point. A coil of power winding and unwinding with potential. Growth. Movement.

Martial arts is a way to liberate hidden power in an instant. In high level Chinese martial arts, the force of nature is expressed by the dragon’s spiral motion. Health and well being is also characterized by the same pattern of focused energy moving our thoughts and actions. It is essential to realize ourselves in a whole way, and at TanDao we express it as the warrior, scholar and monk. All parts of who we are, spiraling and moving together in a constant state of seeking balance. Equilibrium is mastery.

Our TanDao System takes a full spectrum approach to the martial arts, integrating hard, soft and internal expressions of power and combines three styles:

1.  JKD, Bruce Lee’s science of street fighting

2.  Shaolin Animal Kung fu’s tiger and dragon claws, snake fangs, leopard paws, crane beaks

3.  Dazzling Hands internal speed strikes to vital points – Dim Mak

TanDao is dedicated to the martial way. The Evolving Martial Artist is open minded and a seeker on the path. Martial arts is more than fighting – the journey is a quest for new ideas and techniques. Your true power is knowledge.
