One of the most important parts of any physical activity is the ability to exert one’s self without becoming short of breath. This is even truer in the practice of martial arts, where you are not only exerting a tremendous amount of physical energy, but also dealing with the added mental stress of a combat situation.
For hundreds of years, a focus on disciplined breathing went hand-in-hand with combat preparation. In fact, police departments across the nation have begun to recognize the importance of, and train their officers in, “combat breathing.” However, the attention paid to this vital aspect of martial arts training has all but disappeared.
M.L Cerpok Sensei has been practicing and teaching Zazen breathing discipline for thirty years. Combined with his twenty-eight years of experience in several martial arts systems, he offers your training hall an exciting seminar demonstrating the many benefits of Zazen practice.
Not only does Zazen practice immediately oxygenate the muscles and reduce mental stress and fatigue, but regular practice ultimately leads to easier recognition of subtle transitions in all situations. This recognition allows the practitioner to more effortlessly respond, rather than to react in less effective ways.

Cerpok Sensei is a published author, and lecturer. He has been a featured speaker at businesses, universities, and government agencies nation-wide. His teachings have been a catalyst for growth in thousands of people from countries all over the world.
His Zazen Seminar is sixty minutes in length, and we ask that travel expenses (if any) and a $100.00 donation be made to the Personal Development Center, a 501(c)(3) non profit organization, which supports Cerpok Sensei's Mobile Monk activities. Training halls that are unable to afford the suggested donation are encouraged to call in order to discuss their individual needs.
