Silent Thunder is a martial art school which emphasizes the cultivation of spiritual power, and teaches that a greater understanding of God, attainment of the TAO, and enlightenment can be achieved through dedicated practice of both martial arts and meditation. The underlying theme is that whether it is the explosiveness of TAEKWONDO, the uncanny grace of TAI CHI, the disciplined cultivation of spiritual energy from QI GONG, or the internal drama of MEDITATION,the key to success in these arts and life in general lies in each person taking full responsibility for themselves. Step by step, lesson by lesson, we foster the spirit of effort and perseverance, and our consciousness is transmogrified, transformed from patterns of perennial victimhood into a powerhouse of personal victories.
