It is not an elegant demonstration sport, but an original Australian Martial Art, developed from real-life combat situations by the legendary Tom Slaven in the 1970s. On the surface, Zen Chi can be seen as a unique form of self-defence while, at a deeper level, its practitioners strive towards a level of enlightenment that comes through the fusion of mind and body into an ego-less fighting spirit. |
Zen Chi students are not bound by dogma or methodology, but are encouraged to adapt their skills to real situations that call for immediate, automatic and effective action.

Children learn to apply Zen Chi principles to home and road-safety, and "stranger danger". Women and girls acquire protective behaviours to overcome assault and rape situations. The Way of the Strong Mind is a hard Way and, like all serious Martial Arts, it demands commitment, self-discipline, and respect for teachers and each other. Zen Chi is about realising your own potential. |
Today at Australia Day in Glenbrook Park you will enjoy a short demonstration of ZEN CHI fighting techniques. Even if Martial Arts are not your thing, this will be an amazing display of strength and endurance should be witnessed by all.
