My Interests

Bringing the beauty and confidence that come from these Arts to everyone, helping students grow into the people who CAN and WILL shape our world, and showing them that they CAN achieve ANYTHING, they just have to believe in themselves and work hard. MORE CHI!!!

I'd like to meet:

Fellow Martial Artists and Martial Arts associations...Good and real people, the future teachers and leaders of this world, other folks trying to make the world a better and safer place. Other teachers that teach from the heart. We look forward and welcome you all. Come see our school and try a class. We teach Martial Arts the way they were meant to be learned: POLITE COURTESY- HEROIC COURAGE- JUSTICE & MORALITY- COMPASSION- COMPLETE SINCERITY- DUTY & LOYALTY- and most important HONOR. All of there traits are important as well as TRUST and HONESTY.....and yes, our self defense is very, very effective. Remember- "One learns to fight well, so one never has to fight- just live well." We are Zen Dragon.Contact: Sensei David Bowers1495 Lincoln Way E (6A) Chambersburg Pa, 17201(717)-262-9060www.zendragonschool.com
