Out of the Tao one is born, out of one, two, out of two, three, out of three created universe. In the beginning man had everything, but was not content. Plagued with temptation and curiosity, he sought the forbidden, a path which led him to the beginning of many roads, leading in many directions. And so it has been generation after generation. Now as so many before you, you have arrived at the path where you must seek out truth and righteousness. Which way will you choose? It is not an easy choice to make nor is it an easy road to walk.

Here we will attempt to prepare you for this long, hard journey. We sincerely hope that we will not fail you and hope you will not fail us. Remember in times of frustration and uncertainty, be patient. In times of peril and oppression, endure. Demand little of others and much of yourself. Open the eyes of your inner self and you shall see truth.

Be humble and walk softly for there are those who would gladly challenge your virtues. When one finds himself conceived by anger, he must resort to his inner strength. To delight in one's outer strength is foolishness. The outer strength fades with age, succumbs to sickness, is enveloped at last by wings of death.

Follow the ways of nature and no force of man himself can harm you. Beyond these walls you come upon many pillars of violence. Do not seek to tumble them. At first always seek peace. Learn the ways to preserve rather than destroy, avoid rather than check, check rather than hurt, hurt rather than maim, maim rather than kill, for all life is precious nor can any be replaced.

Follow the way of the tiger, for the way of the tiger is that of tenacity and power. Live by the sign of the Dragon, from which we learn to ride the wind.

The Seven Winds Flying Fist System is a fairly new system, but the arts we teach are hundreds of years old. The Flying Fist System was founded on June 29, 1973 by Grandmaster Henry Cook, who is well versed in the field of martial arts. His knowledge consists of Judo, Chung Do Kwan, Tae Kwan Do, Jujitsu, and three different styles of Kung Fu, including Wing Chun. Grandmaster Cook has over of 43 years of practice in martial arts.

He expressed that his past experiences in martial arts have taught him that in order to deal with emergency self defense situations properly and effectively, one should have knowledge of a combination of fighting arts.

This is the principle and foundation of the Flying Fist System. This was also the training procedure of the famed Shaolin Temple . A structure or system will only be as good as its foundation. Grandmaster Cook believes if one learns the basic, you can build your own fighting system. One of the reasons for this system is to introduce the enthusiast to a number of different fighting arts.

In this system one will learn the continuous flow of Wing Chun, the gentle way of Judo and the spiritual harmony of Aikido. The first and most basic will be Wing Chun Kung Fu, the Art of Simplicity. Also in this system you will be versed in the anatomy such as pressure points, nerve centers, etc.

In our system, our objectives are to aid you in obtaining concentration, self discipline, control of mind and body, and inner peace. In this system you will learn a great deal about having harmony with others and respect for your fellow man. Also in this system we hope to promote good health and long life. All students will be encouraged to work cooperatively with instructors and fellow students to meet the stated objectives. We will concentrate only on those techniques that are simple to learn, flexible enough to be used in a variety of situations, and most importantly, highly workable and effective. We will teach what is practical, considering the amount of free time you can spend in this course and your individual degree of skill.
