Tempering Steel 2026

October 09–11, 2026

Live retreat at Silver Strand Beach

The "Tempering Steel 2026" workshop offers a progressive three-day journey structured to forge internal and external resilience through consecutive stages. The experience begins on Day One ("Iron Wrapped in Cotton") by cultivating subtle yet dense internal power and structural integrity based on Neijia Quan fundamentals. Day Two ("Steel Sharpens Steel") introduces direct interaction, partner work, and weapons training to test and refine sensitivity under pressure. The final stage, "Damascus," integrates these elements, blending hard and soft arts into an adaptive, real-world strategy that flows between combative applications and restorative practices.
