Big Day Tomorrow

If you've been on the fence about attending our Fight Camp tomorrow with special guest, Cung Le you're running out of time.

If you want to go, make sure to contact your instructor so they can reserve you a spot.

For non-members, please contact an FSD school near you to make the arrangements.

Camp starts promptly at 11 am and ends at 3 pm (so you can be back in time for your father's day supper) at the Pagoda in Casselman.

It's going to be wild.

Make sure to be there, it's an opportunity you won't want to miss.

Reasons for attending the camp:

1) Cung Le (Duh!)
2) Insider Tips on how to take your Sanshou game to a whole other level.
3) The synergy of the group will be amazing which will accelerate your learning.
4) At the Pagoda (ideal training environment) with Ring and 2 Octagons set up for your enjoyment.
5) Sijo and all Sifus present as well as advanced students so you can ask questions and get one on one training.
6) What a great way to spend a Sunday. Spectators pay 20$ but if you want to bring your dad, it's F*R*E*E.

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.


Cung Le Fang Shen Do


















It's a chance you won't want to miss. If you're a member I urge you to register as quickly as possible through the link below. This event is also open to the public but you must act quickly (priority is given to our existing members) by registering below.

The Camp will be held on Sunday, June 19th at our Private Training Pagoda in Casselman (25 minutes from Ottawa, 1 hr 15 minutes from Montreal). The event will run from 11 am to 3 pm.

Fight Night in Casselman, Ontario

Once again we're pleased to bring you Fang Shen Do's Fight Night.

It's happening this Saturday in Casselman at the JR Brisson Complex at 6:30 pm.



















We have 17 explosive match-ups lined up for you. Come cheer on a fellow class mate or simply come in to enjoy the show.





This is the perfect way for us to give our up and coming fighters the experience they need to gain the confidence and courage to step into the cage at a higher level.





















In a couple of years from now, most of our professional fighters will look back at these events as the starting point for their careers. Help encourage them by being part of the crowd and cheering them on.





















At our last event we had close to 600 people in a very intimate setting, the view is great from anywhere, and you really feel like you're part of the show.




























Yes, the fighters give it all they got, but it's done in a spirit of mutual respect with a common goal for self-improvement.





















Men and women participate in this rite of passage which leaves them ecstatic, stronger and more determined than ever to improve themselves once they're back in the the dojo.





















Tickets are only 30$. You can purchase them by following the link below.

Poh from Kung Fu Panda Trailer

Members of the Black Mantas infiltrated our training Dojo for a direct attack against Poh.

Will he survive the attack?

Watch the video to find out. Kung-Fu Panda Video

If he does survive, they'll surely come back with a bigger group of ninjas.

We'll see.

Have a good laugh on me.

Martial Art Training

When should you start Martial Art Training?

In most cases the answer is: I should of started 20 years ago.

Realistically?

Right Now.

There's definitely no "right time" to get started.

But I do know the longer you wait, you miss out on a slew of health benefits that, as you get older, you would of wished you had acquired.

It's funny how everyone plans for their retirement and you might fall into this category as well; Investments, RRSPs, travel, etc... but you fail to plan the most important part of your life:

Your Health.

Yes! You should plan your health.

How are you going to stay Strong, Healthy and Vibrant well into old age?

Some people make that realization a little too late in their life.

If you happen to sit close to a group of seniors on a Sunday morning for breakfast you'll understand what I mean.

It's unfortunate to hear some of the stories about heart attacks, high blood pressure, digestive problems, sickness and disease, but some, if not most of their health issues could of have been avoided or solved with some simple adjustments in their lifestyle if only precautionary measures would have been put in place earlier in their life.

Why wait to the point where it's too late? Or decide to do something about your health after you have a heart attack? or stop smoking when you're diagnosed with cancer?

Any which way you slice it, Health is numero uno.

Just look around you. In your family and relatives. People in general.

You already know what happens when health is completely ignored or given little attention.

I don't know about you but I don't need to add myself to that statistic.

Be pro-active.

Make Fitness a priority.

Tomorrow I'll cover why you should choose Martial Arts over any other form of exercise.

Stay tuned.

Master Yourself,

Sibok M

P.S. For those who are ready to get started here's what you can do for optimal personal fitness.

New Fitness Workouts: The Dumb Plan

Lots of magazines these days are touting the "Easy, No will power required, no sweat, no exercise" Health Regimes.

Really?

Add "Eat anything" and flop on the couch too while you're at it.

I don't know about you but reading that kind of crap makes me feel sorry for the man or woman who wants to get in shape and ends up following a stupid plan like the one outlined above.

What's alarming to me is that some people do believe it.

Even if it did work and you got rid of all your unwanted body fat by doing nothing, what would you look like on the inside?

Following what we'll call from now on the "Dumb Plan", you would have the ILLUSION of Health.

Choosing to exercise and lose weight and gain muscle the old fashion way does much more than burn fat and make you look good.

It strengthens your organs.

It fully oxygenates the blood stream.

It lowers blood pressure.

It improves your mood by releasing feel good endorphins.

It makes you focus.

It creates new neural pathways.

It improves memory.

It raises your energy level.

It improves blood flow throughout your body.

It improves body awareness and motor skills.

And the list goes on and on.

Why would you want to get fit and healthy any other way than the traditional way?

Training has always been for me to maximize my potential. To make sure my body and mind, my machine is functioning like it was intended. Being lean and fit is only a by-product of this endeavor. I choose to stay and walk on the path of Self-Mastery.

Will you join me?
