Started the state challenge today! Intro lesson was great! Found it difficult at first to find an intention to focus on but once I did it flowed nicely. Felt a sense of heaviness and a buzzing sensation over my body. Almost like a vibration. Overall was very relaxing and calming. Excited for day 2!

Hi, my name is Ariane and I’m from the unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-waututh nations. I’m here for martial and spiritual development.

In Wing Chun we say, “Infuse the spirit”.

If you’ve been here before, you remember this space. Life got full. Travel. Teaching. Family. So we closed the doors for a while. But people kept asking to come back. Because this place let them 'feel' The State. Not just learn it. Experience it. So we reopened it. This time simpler. Stronger. More focused. Before, there was too much content. People got overwhelmed and did nothing. Now there’s one clear path: The 7-Day Enter The State Challenge 7 lessons. Internal power. Inner peace. Martial strength. Spiritual alignment. Enough to change how you feel. Enough to change how you move. Enough to change how you live. What You Get Here • The 7-Day Challenge • A real community to talk and grow • Updates on live, in-person events • New videos and teachings • Access to One Tao Style and more YouTube is content. This is a home. If you’ve been quiet, this is your sign. Come back. Say hello. Start the 7-Day Challenge. Don’t just watch. Participate. Welcome back to the One Tao Family. Peace, Love and Kung Fu! Sifu John Poll: Where Are You At Right Now? 👇 What best describes you today?

I joined this group over a year ago after seeing one of Sifu’s videos on Instagram where he smashed that punching bag with such thunderous impact that I had to replay that video a couple more times just to make sure it was real. Don't know about you, but I could literally feel the power ripple through the screen. I remember thinking: “That’s some modern-day Jedi training.” That moment lit something up in me. I got excited about learning Wing Chun, developing real internal power, and mastering the State. But I didn’t take much action other than joining the One Tao Family group and following Sifu on social media. I told myself things like: “What if I’m not good at it?” “What if it doesn’t work for me?” “I should probably save some money…” So instead of joining the Academy, I stayed on the sidelines. I’d watch some of the training videos in the courses, the occasional clip on Instagram, skim a few newsletters, but I didn’t really commit. A whole year passed like that with me watching from a distance while my excuses quietly won the mental battle. Then a few weeks ago, something shifted. That same excitement returned when I got another newsletter talking about an online webinar on martial arts and a fun META DOJO event. At first, I brushed it aside and told myself I was too busy for all this stuff. But this burning feeling inside kept coming back. I found myself scrolling through the Skool platform more and more to check out what was happening these days. Then one day, I just said: “You know what… fuck it! Stop overthinking it. Just show up for 30 days. No pressure. If it's not for me, I could walk away knowing I gave it a shot. I could always go back to my old life anyway, so what have I got to lose? Easy." But here I am—24 days in—and so much has changed for me that I wanted to share with you. I feel more energy in my body. It started with tingling in my hands that later spread to the whole body the more I showed up and did the training. I’ve had sharper insights at work and it's less stressful. I have clearer emotional awareness, and moments of flow I can’t fully explain.
