Our Story

I initiated Transcending Martial Arts from a simple desire to share the incredible benefits of qigong that transformed my life during a challenging time in my own journey. Years ago, amidst personal struggles, I discovered this gentle practice that not only alleviated my stress but filled me with newfound energy and clarity. Each movement became a meditation—a bridge to my well-being. What started as a personal healing journey quickly blossomed into a mission to help others in Burnaby reconnect with themselves through movement. Countless conversations with those in the community revealed a shared longing for peace and balance amidst life’s chaos. It inspired me to create a space where we can all come together—offering classes that focus on more than just practice, but on cultivating a supportive environment where everyone is uplifted. This isn’t just about teaching; it’s about forging connections that inspire transformation. Every time I see a student smile as they experience the freedom in their practice, it reaffirms why I started this—it’s not just qigong, it’s a shared experience.
