Original Schenker Family Crest


Schenker Martial Arts
modern adaptation


The original coat of arms was given to illustrator Adam Goudelock in the form above, and to the left, with the description you will see next. The idea we had was to modernize and adapt the original family crest in accordance with many of Master Scott Schenker's teachings and beliefs.

In the original crest imagine if you will it being silver with a large black triangle placed on it's base, touching the upper border and the sides of the shield. Charged with a silver lion, crowned gold, supported by a green mount and holding a silver artwork garnished gold; The triangle accompanied by the three naturally colored pomegranates lighted. 

In the adapted version the shield now sits on a lotus flower which sends a strong symbolic message for those of you who do not know the idea of why the lotus flower is used so frequently in chinese art. It is because the lotus starts at the bottom of the pond in the mud and muck, it struggles and grows upward toward the waters surface in order to drink the sunlight and receive the nourishment necessary for it to turn into one of the worlds most beautiful flowers. Inside the crest is a dragon and the pomegranates are replaced with the chinese characters representing the triad of the universe: Heaven (sits on the helmet), man on the upper portion of the shield and earth at the bottom of the shield.
