Why Choose Kindred Fist?
The Power of Traditional Practice
In today’s fast-paced world, martial arts are often reduced to quick fitness routines or competitive sports. At Kindred Fist, we preserve a different path. We believe that authentic, traditional martial arts are not just a physical activity—they are a comprehensive blueprint for lifelong mastery of the mind, body, and character.
When you choose to train in the traditional ways of Southern Dragon Fist or Tai Chi, you are not just learning how to move; you are learning how to live.
Here is how our traditional perspective transforms our students:
- Holistic Health & Lifelong Vitality: Modern workouts often break the body down; traditional training builds it up. By combining combative mechanics with internal breathwork (Hei Gung) and ancient healing principles, we teach you to move with perfect structural alignment. This fortifies your tendons, protects your joints, and relieves deep-seated stress, ensuring you remain strong and mobile well into your later years.
- Battle-Tested, Practical Application: We do not train to score points in a ring or win shiny trophies. The arts we preserve were forged for survival. By studying the authentic roots of these systems, you develop practical, highly efficient self-defense skills that rely on leverage, sensitivity, and timing rather than brute muscular force.
- Mental Fortitude & Martial Morality (Wu De): Traditional training is a mirror. It forces you to confront your own frustrations, build immense patience, and leave your ego at the door. Through rigorous practice, our students cultivate a profound sense of inner calm, unbreakable discipline, and a deep respect for others—traits that translate directly into their personal and professional lives.
- A True Community, Not Just a Gym: At Kindred Fist, you are never just a paying customer on a treadmill. You are stepping into a lineage. You become part of a global, like-minded family of practitioners who support one another's growth, share their struggles, and celebrate the martial arts as a complete, harmonious way of life.
The Community
Why be part of a martial art community.
Welcome to the Kindred Fist Community
In martial arts, you often hear the word "community" applied to a single school or Kwoon. It reminds us that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. But true martial arts knows no borders. The discipline we practice extends far beyond the walls of any one club—it connects our neighborhoods, our cities, and practitioners all over the world.
Kindred Fist is a global, online martial arts community dedicated to the preservation and sharing of traditional systems, history, and philosophy. Whether you are a lifelong teacher, a dedicated student, or someone taking your very first step toward a martial arts lifestyle, our doors are open to you.
Our Community Code (Wu De)
To maintain the harmony of this global Kwoon, we expect all members to observe the highest level of martial morality. When you join this community, we ask that you:
- Respect the Path: Honor yourself, your teachers, your fellow students, and the martial arts way of life.
- Be Humble & Open-Minded: Respect the diverse views, ideas, and styles of other practitioners. We are non-prejudiced; recognize that everyone has their own valid way.
- Cultivate Patience: Take the time to truly listen to one another, be tolerant, and actively support each other's growth.

Friendship is an essential avenue in the growth and development of social interaction. A friend can be someone to support, motivate, encourage and inspire you to do the best you can even when things look dark.
A friend can be there to support and lift you when you fall, help push you forward when you're too exhausted, or be that silent motivator at the right time.
Friends of a martial art community understand the struggles you might face in your training and is the best source of strength in moments of doubt.

POST UPCOMING EVENTS, VIDEOS, PICS
It is always a good thing to ask questions. It clarifies the understanding of a subject and eliminates the doubt and confusion of guessing. It is best to use the old saying, "measure twice, cut once."
No one should feel bad about asking a question, and no one should be so offended by being asked a question. What we do not know or understand can easily be explained by others, even if that person is not at your level.
It is sometimes best to take the high road by being silent respond with ignorance to those who are courageously reaching out for knowledge. Always be willing to teach, always be prepared to learn.
