Join our Free 30-Day Martial Arts Challenge!
Whether you are a beginner, “martial arts curious”, or an advanced martial artist, you are welcome in our online classes.
Even if you have never felt drawn to the martial arts, this challenge will benefit you…. and, be FUN!
FREE – Martial Arts Classes – Lead by International Masters
You don’t need to be socially isolated during social distancing!
WHY?
These are difficult times. We are limited on activites. For most people around the world, it is impossible to attend classes, or to practice with another person outside your household.
We want to change that!
For as long as we can during the duration of this crisis, we are providing virtual training and classes without charge. And, we are working on technology that will revolutionize how martial arts are taught!
WHO?
If you need something to keep you calm and relaxed, want some good exercise, would like to learn viable self-defense, or are ready to take on the “master’s secrets”, please join us.
There will be live classes as well as recordings, so you can participate, from anywhere in the world, at a time convenient for you.
Everyone is welcome!
What are the Details?
Who is this for?
- Anyone needing a break from “shelter at home”. Here you will find a group of like-minded supporters.
- Anyone wanting to strengthen their immune system. Science shows that appropriate, moderate exercise has a positive effect on your immune system, helping to prevent infection, or to mitigate the impact of infection.
- Anyone wanting exercise. Physical and mental activity help with symptoms of depression, discouragement, “cabin fever”, and feelings of loneliness and anxiety. Besides, it’s much better for you than binging on comfort foods and late-night movies.
- Anyone wanting to experience martial arts. Whether you are a newbie, a wanna-be, or just “martial arts curious”, there is a place for you here. You will experience martial arts in a safe, supportive environment without pressure or embarrassment.
- Experienced martial artists. For most of us, classes are not an option now. Whether you are beginner, or a senior black belt, we will have something new for you. And, we can all support each other in this time.
How will I benefit?
- Research shows that appropriate, moderate exercise strengthens the immune system and mitigates the impact of infections (very important in these times).*
- Physical activity helps with mental clarity and reducing the impact of stress and social isolation.*
- I will have a choice of high-tech conditioning exercises, in a combination of strength, flexibility and cardio.
- I will have opportunity for energy training (Chi or Ki).
- I will learn meditation and breathing exercises.
- I can participate in live Q&A sessions.
- I can join in the live sessions, or watch the recordings.
- I can connect with other participants, and build supportive relationships.
- I will learn from acknowledged masters and certified instructors.
- I can learn real martial arts, and practical self-defense.
What is the Plan?
There will be a live video each day:
- 3 Days per week the focus will be on conditioning exercises. The conditioning exercises will be traditional martial arts exercises, but presented in a manner consistent with cutting edge physiological research.
- 3 Days per week will focus on energy (Ki or Chi) training, flexibility, and a few other exercises that relate to martial arts and functional wellness.
- Sunday will focus on meditation, breathing exercises and energy (Ki or Chi) work.
At least once each week there will be a special live video:
- Special training. This will be training in self-defense, and beginning through advanced topics related to martial arts.
- Special topics and Q&A. This will include topics based upon the interest of the participants, and will include opportunities to ask questions.
We are actively developing a new technology that will revolutionize martial arts training. This will allow your training to continue in spite of social distancing!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
About 25 years ago, I decided to start martial arts. It was there that I met Sensei Dale Gillilan. Fast forward again to the last 3 days. Sensei came to town to put on a Ki workshop.
I feel a sense of inner quiet that wasn’t there before. It’s a feeling of being calm on the inside even though you didn’t know you weren’t before. My confidence is improved, my belief in myself has jumped miles and I have a new found sense of hope for my health.
If you ever get the chance to attend one of Sensei Dale Gillilan’s workshops, regardless of the art you study, or even if you are not into martial arts, make sure you go. Whatever it is you do, attend. Your experience will amaze you and it will enhance your martial arts/life experience in ways you never imagined.
Thank you Sensei, for chasing your childhood dream. Thank you for your time, your generosity and your kindness. Thank you for helping me find me again, even though I didn’t know I was lost. Thank you for your wisdom and willingness to share your experience and knowledge. I appreciate you more than I can put into words. I will be a good steward of the knowledge passed onto me.
