Peaceful Warrior Retreat

The seminar follows a holistic concept providing exceptional diverse training. The goal is to combine natural living and martial arts and to benefit from the following practices: Taekwondo, Hapkido, Meditation, Yoga, Qigong, Taichi and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Besides the physical training, the concept of Ying and Yang, energy work and the connection between TCM and martial arts will be explored. The teacher is Nuno Damaso.
