CHURCH OF THE EMPTY FIST

"In the course of time, as one studies the nature of war, one discovers a method of peace. When such is discovered, one has become that for which one was seeking and the warrior becomes a priest."

Welcome!

My purpose in life is to help; my method of helping is through the archetype of warrior-priest; always has been. This website is the medium through which I may reach a wider audience than those whom I currently teach locally.

Having been on the path of the martial way since August of 1972. I'm here to tell you that unerpinning the martial way is a reality so much more relevant to our lives than can be found being taught in the average training halls of today.

The days when the martial arts were taught as a spiritual practice, based on a religious philosophy; when the "Dharma Clasped Hand" was the physical practice which led one to becoming a realized being; when each day's lesson was transmitted within the silence between master and disciple, and conducted withiin the walls of sacred-spaces, ... those days are gone...

... or are they?

Not as long as there is at least one martial artist who still senses the spiritually-empowering underpinnings of the Martial Way.

One has only to behold the Doctrine of the New Earth Martial Way to understand!

And if you were to understand, would you then help resurrect this ever viable path from remaining little more than an exotic method of enacting revenge against the projection of one's demons?

Would you help ressurrect a nearly lost faction of the warrior priesthood on this planet; to join the ranks of those who would serve the cause of enlightenment for all, before oneself?

If so, you would become a member of a tradition of warrior clergy, or - if more in your character - warrior religious/monastics.

... and we could welcome you, back, once more.

That being said...

In order to know how to share the Doctrine of the New Earth Martial Way with you, I need to know you. The Doctrine only becomes relevant if it is communicated within the context of you.

I've placed "Relevance Surveys" throughout this website, startiing with the general one below. (Thank you for filling out at least this one.)

If you decide to peruse the rest of this site, as it unfolds, understand that only its basic functionality exists; that it won't be completed for some while yet (but definitely by later this year) after I've tabulated your responses and figured out how best to present the Doctrine at this point, at this time, to you.

In the years to come you can look forward to church sanctioned parishes in cities across the world as newly consecrated warrior clergy begin ministering the New Earth Martial Way within their chosen communities.

Furthermore, the church will be establishing a religious order of vowed and professed full-time lifestyle monastics called to service for universal harmonization of the warrior archetype - very high level stuff!

We're moving into a new era, and the Church and its Doctrine of the New Earth Martial Way shall remain pertinent, relevant, and viable; something I am committed to as I look forward to consecrating a vitally needed warrior clergy who preside a world congregation of enlightened martial artists. As a collective body we may yet realize the New Earth Martial Way as

The Warrior's Path to Personal, Global and Universal Harmonization
