I created this system, Schenker Martial Arts based on my own discoveries into my own self  introspection. When I crossed over from the karate world into the world of kung fu, I found each system has its own outstanding positives as well as its own shortcomings. This is the law of nature.

For example, Tae Kwon Do is famous for its kicking techniques and Wing Chun famous for it's hand work. When we look at this equation, we have yin and yang. Why learn one system and not the other? Traditionalist have said if a person really learns a system well they do not need to look outside, so I pose the question from the afore mentioned example; if a Tae Kwon Do person thoroughly understands and practices his system, will this make him a proficient grappler? What happens when and if he's taken down.  Same goes for Wing Chun, will a through understanding give this person incredible kicking ability? Unless of course he trains in a certain way to attain these attributes. We want a well rounded arsenal, but do not want to spread ourselves too thin. Looking at the example above we would have to learn both systems entirely and then and only then practice what best works for us mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Most importantly we need to "Honestly Express Ourselves" and truly practice what is beneficial to us and not just "fancy flowery techniques" with no purpose or understanding. With this said I created Schenker Martial Arts with four foundation systems and additional emphasis from several other systems. But I also believe a system should never be considered complete, we will always have breakthroughs and internal changes.

Who am I to create my own system?

Not only am I ranked to do so, but I believe it is and will be a betterment to the human race. I took careful attention to keep these systems pure, undiluted and unadulterated (the way they were passed down from generation to generation) and combine them into one mega system if you will.

I personally found that it appears Emei Qigong is predominately internal. Wing Chun, Liu He Men/Natural Style, Jeet Kune Do, Karate and boxing appear to be external. Chen Taiji is a combination of both internal and external.

This is the part where everybody says he doesn’t know what he is talking about or understand because there is internal in external and external in internal. Emei Qigong has external as well as Wing Chun and Liu He Men/Natural Style, Karate, Jeet Kune Do and boxing have internal, and it's just the law of nature. Those who really understand will know what I’m talking about.

I devised Schenker Martial Arts based on Emei Qigong as internal as to strengthen the entire human organism. Every cell can and will be enhanced and balanced. Wing Chun, Liu He Men/Natural Style, Karate, Jeet Kune Do and boxing to work as an external powerful self defense system. And Chen Taiji as "balancers" to the afore mentioned systems.

Again, relating back to my experience, I came from a karate background. I was infatuated with Bruce lee from childhood so I decided to study his system. When I began, my teacher told me the essence to all martial arts and everything that permeates the universe is Qi. While studying Emei Qigong I found myself with a dilemma I found I could build up incredible amounts of energy(Qi) and bliss but then to move right into Wing Chun was an abrupt change, I needed a "gap bridger" a medium to bring me from the internal world of Emei Qigong back into the external world. Taiji would be that "gap bridger", but I wasn't attracted to the styles I had seen at the time. Until one day in the Far East I saw a demonstration of Chen Taijiquan and it just clicked that this was it.

All of the systems mentioned here were studied in depth with the highest level teachers on the planet. Either it was the lineage holders or their top/chief students. So, my teachings come to you in their purist form, undiluted. I studied in most cases private, I have put insurmountable amounts of blood, sweat, tears and financial hardships as well as sacrifice into developing this system. Traveling the globe for study and cultivation, I am very proud of the outcome. Like the old adage states "I’d give my life to move like him", well I did and I’m here to say, I hope many will take advantage of it because students have got it all right before them!!

One last note, all of the above writing means nothing without being a good person. We have to "give - give until it hurts". Excerpt from a letter I received from "Mother Theresa". Don't worry about the payback that's all karmically generated. It is said that giving is the most selfish thing we can do because the reward is so great!!! Keep high standards, morals, and ethics; Never compromise your belief system as long as it's of high quality.

In summary, I developed Schenker Martial Arts to benefit all sentiment beings.
