About mixed martial arts Pro Fighter Julien Leblanc

One of our soon to be Pro Fighters, Julien Leblanc talks about (in French) his experience training with the Patenaude Team, what it takes to succeed in your training and how he got to be where he's at in MMA.



Julien has accomplished alot in the past 5 years. He literally could not do one single push-up when he started.

He had low self-confidence.

And was overweight.

Now, he's one of our top competitors, he's undefeated and he's making his Pro debut in September.

Julien's story isn't an isolated incident.

You too can make a positive change in your life by joining our team. All that is required is effort, perseverance and commitment.

Get started today with a free 7 day pass.

Cung Le in Casselman, Ontario

We're pleased to announce a special guest appearance at our 2011 Fight Camp.

Last year we had world renowned Grappler, Gokor Chivichyan.

This year we have World Sanshou Champion and Strikeforce Middle Weight Champion, Cung Le to head the event.

Cung Le www.fangshendo.com

























As you might already know Cung uses Sanshou techniques to dominate his opponents.

Sanshou means "Free Hand" or traditionally, Sparring is called Sanda which means "Free Fighting". It's a mixture of various Kung-Fu styles rolled into one. Kinda like how the Soviets created their Sambo or how MMA has evolved in North America.


Cung Le Fight Camp


The main focus is to stay standing up. Punching, Kicking, Clinching, Throwing, Take Downs and Sweeps make up the sport. It's very exciting to watch compared to other types of events.

And Cung Le has made a name for himself doing it.

Fight Night Highlights

If you're interested in seeing some of the Fight Highlights from our Fight Night this Saturday I've just uploaded the video.

Every fighter showed a lot of heart and they didn't disappoint.

I can just imagine the level of skill they will have in the years to come if they keep participating in these events. For some it was their first time and honestly after watching the video it didn't seem like it!

You can find it here on the main page of the Fang Shen Do Website.

Scroll down a bit on the right you'll see FSD on Youtube, you can't miss it.

Master Yourself,

More Sanshou Pics

Many new pictures are trickling in from our Demonstration at this year's World Kobudo Convention.


























If you haven't yet seen the demo on video you can check it out here.

These pics are from the Sparring Section of our Demo.
























Integrating Punching, Kicking, Knees and Wrestling with Sanshou rules is a great way to build a strong foundation skill wise and teaches you to exploit an opponent's momentary lack of balance and use it against him with pin point accuracy.

MMA or Mixing the arts is more than just doing Boxing, Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu.

More and more schools are realizing this, every art has something to bring to the table but the secret is in the way you integrate them together the way FSD has done so well.

Come train with us and see what I mean.

It's about Effin' time!

It's true.

It's about time MMA got the attention it deserves. It's now part of the mainstream.

Everyone knows about it, even people you wouldn't expect.

Everyone finally gets the point of using what works and mixing the arts.

I can say from experience it wasn't always that way.

Back in the day (20 years ago) when my father used to offer special private training to his advanced students and giving them a chance to taste a variety of arts and concepts, my dad would get angry phone calls from rivaling schools and instructors condemning him from borrowing from their art or instructor.

You can imagine what his answer to them was.

I'm sure Bruce Lee ran into the same kind of issues when he was developing his JKD. I particularly like this quote from him: "To use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it".

Nobody "owns" a technique.

Today Bruce Lee is a legend and even dubbed "Godfather of MMA".

What if martial art forums and internet in general would have been around in those early days, you think people would have tried to bash him, destroy his reputation and ask the stupidest question of them all: "Are you certified to merge all these arts?"

I think so.

Today it's a different story, at no other time in history have masters and schools been so open to share their knowledge with one another.

My father always says: "What you keep for yourself diminishes and what you share multiplies".

One day we'll rid ourselves of the schools and their students that would rather argue about styles rather than actually train.

Until that day comes, we're doing our part to share our knowledge and our contacts with you.

Bruce Lee's long time friend and student Bob Wall, will be hosting a series of seminars throughout the FSD organization during the month of May.
