“Shinto is nothing new, and yet, because of its belief in the endless power of renewal, it is ever new. It is old but ever new. It is primordial. Before man set pen to paper, or rationalized doctrines or formulated scientific principles, people of old had intuitive insights that were probably as basically true as the proven truths of modern science. They caught the spirit of the cosmos”
— “Kami no Michi” by  Guji Yukitaka Yamamoto

We should not mimic the old masters, but rather seek what the masters sought!

ABOUT “CABAL FANG: COMPLETE STUDY COURSE FROM QUERENT TO ELDER”…

“Fully illustrated and truly complete, Cabal Fang Martial Arts: Complete Study Course from Querent to Elder contains everything you need to start learning the world’s most innovative and transformative martial art. Over 100,000 words and 300 pages of never-before-seen martial arts training information. Six books in one! The functional training drills alone — over 100 of them! — are worth the price of admission.

Inside this incredible volume you’ll find Book I: Origin, History, and General Training Guidelines (covering fitness, flexibility and more), Book II: Soma (External Training, including the physical training techniques of Cabal Fang, self-defense, grip strength, body hardening, pain management, etc.), Book III: Pneuma (internal, spiritual training, the Hermetic secrets of Cabal Fang, contemplation, meditation, and pathworking exercises), Book IV: Psyche (philosophy and mindset training), Book V: The Fraternal Path (group training guidelines) and Book VI: The Hermit Path (solo training guidelines).

Open the covers of this remarkable manual and step into the spaces between traditional martial arts and combat sports, Eastern philosophy and Western mysticism. See how Cabal Fang is at once a modern self defense method, a strenuous fitness regimen, a spiritual framework drawing upon the Western esoteric tradition, and a diagram for maximizing human potential.

A seamless blend of the ancient and the modern, the physical and the internal, Cabal Fang is at once a child of the past and the martial art of a new millennium. For all fitness and experience levels — but not the faint of heart.

Cabal Fang is “full context martial arts” — a modern temple mart for a new age.”

“It has been said that Cabal Fang is one of the most challenging martial arts on the planet.  If that’s true, and I think it is, it’s because we have so much to learn and so much to do. You see, the cosmos is under construction, it’s nowhere near finished, and skilled artisans are in short supply. Even if you believe in a higher power, just remember that neither God nor Goddess, daemon nor angel, has hands with which to build.  

For that, they need you.” ~The First Elder
