Our Guiding North Star

We are Men of the Forge

We are blacksmiths of the spirit, willingly stepping into the flames of discomfort to refine ourselves into legendary blades of truth & purpose

We are gardeners of the kingdom, tending the soil of our hearts, pulling the weeds of illusion, and planting seeds of peace that will outlive us

We are leaders from different paths, guided by the light of our shared morals, values, and reverence for all life

We choose the narrow path: the signal fire within the storm, the guardians of the kingdom, the warriors of the innocence, the students of the grand mystery, The stewards of nature, the alchemists of experience, the expansive peace in the chaos, the compassion in the rage, the clarity in the fear, the shields against evil, & the overflowing spring effortlessly nourishing all life surrounding us

We are the walking prayer

We are the firekeepers

The 4 Pillars of The Forge

UNBREAKABLE BODY

A warrior king doesn't surrender to discomfort. Strengthen your body through traditional martial arts, functional movement training, & efficient recovery methods to unlock your greatest potential

SHARPENED MIND

It's time to re-wild your mind! Study & share knowledge. Challenge our limited perceptions & domesticated programming. Practically apply & test it. Refine it into wisdom. Repeat.

ACTIVE SUPPORT

You don't need another accountability group. This is a circle of leaders, actively moving towards a better tomorrow. Together, we share resources to help each other build a powerful kingdom!

EXPANSIVE FAITH

Do you really have faith, or are they just empty words? Learn the path of courageous faith. Are you jumping into the unknown, trusting that god is guiding you & your brothers are supporting you?

PILLAR #1: UNBREAKABLE BODY

Warrior Workouts with Daily, Weekly, & Monthly Programs + Goals

Every Month will have Season Specific Training Programs in order to Optimize Outcome & Energy Efficiency

Internal Martial Arts (Yin)

Tai Chi Quan, Qi Gong, Xing Yi, Bagua, Sensing Hands, Meditations & Internal Alchemy Breathwork.

This is were we learn the power of stillness, of silence. This is were we learn how to replace muscle tension with Qi. This is were we discover the leaks in our energy, compensation patterns causing us pain, & reclaim our power.

External Martial Arts (Yang)

Northern Traditional Shaolin Kung Fu: Eagle Claw, Mizong Louhan, Praying Mantis, & Sanda (Chinese Full Contact Fighting).

This is where we train the explosive power of the body & the discipline of the mind. This is where the egos illusions melt away & reveal what we are truly made of. This is where the Warrior King is forged.

Functional Movement & Active Recovery (Expansive Harmony)

Modern Exercise science focused on longevity, power output, energy optimization, & Mobility > Flexibility.

This is where we master discernment between fear & intuition, safe & dangerous pain, real & fake exhaustion.

This is where we learn how to push limits & when/how to efficiently recover.

PILLAR #2: SHARPENED MIND

As a whetstone sharpens metal, stillness sharpens the mind

The mind is our greatest ally & most cunning enemy. The gatekeeper when disciplined. The saboteur when comfortable.

When knowledge is acquired, two paths are formed:

The lions gate is revealed: This is the narrow path. The path of uncertainty, discomfot, & faith. Your soul takes the knowledge & tests it in the arena of life. Each step the path narrows, creating friction against the rough unrefined version of you that fuels the sacred fire within. Every obstacle an opportunity to further refine the raw material of your body into a legendary blade. Every application of knowledge in the arena of life filters illusions, fears, & compensation patterns from universal truths. Every courageous step further into the darkness sharpens clarity of discernment & illuminates the true purpose your soul chose to be here.

The grazing fields are open: This is the wide path. The path of complaceny, comfort, & survival. Your ego takes unfiltered knowledge & says "I got it." Never testing or appling it, just building a mask attaching to the identity perceived by it. The ego regurgitates the raw essence without the strenght or discipline necessary to embody the frequency of it when met with trials life brings. Just blindly meandering in the illusion of safety, hoping the herder & fences will protect you from the wolves. The path leading to righteous justification of addictions you use to numb your dying soul trapped in a cage of your own creation. You live in the illusion of effort, not realizing the path you walk is just a hamster wheel you've been placed on. Sedating sadness with pleasure because "you've earned it."

Here, you will be challenged to walk through the lions gate, to face discomfort & expand your capacity to experience all life has to offer

To become a forever student, freeing your childlike curiosity, constantly questioning & testing the why’s beneath the why’s fueling your daily habits, beliefs, desires, goals & perspectives
