 Self-Defense & Inner Calm with Master Bao Thanh

A Path of Strength, Awareness, and Peace
Join Thích Bảo Thành for a unique and empowering class that blends the ancient wisdom of Vietnamese Forest Mountain martial arts with mindful awareness practices.
In this class, you will learn practical self-defense techniques rooted not in aggression, but in clarity, balance, and presence. Each movement is designed to awaken the body, sharpen awareness, and help you respond—not react—in moments of stress or danger.
Beyond physical skills, this training emphasizes calming the nervous system and reducing anxiety. Through breath, gentle movement, and focused intention, you’ll discover how to return to a grounded, steady state—even in challenging situations.
This is not just a martial arts class—it is a practice of inner strength:

Build confidence and real-world self-defense skills
  •  Learn techniques to regulate stress and anxiety
  •  Develop awareness, balance, and mindful response
  •  Cultivate a calm, centered mind in everyday life
No prior experience is needed. Open to all levels and backgrounds.
Come discover how true strength arises from a peaceful mind.
