Embrace the philosophy of ZHONG XIN DAO I Liq Chuan and embark on a transformative journey to understanding your own structure, balance and new qualities of power.

Redefining Martial Arts Training

Traditional oriental martial arts, in their training approach, are becoming more and more similar to sports types of martial arts. And those martial arts, removing contact with the opponent from their practice, become more like gymnastic practices of varying degrees of intensity.

The sports practice of martial arts is often accompanied by the risk of causing harm to one’s health, in pursuit of a quick result (victory in competitions).

Health-improving practices often lose the sense of the reality of the fight and lose practical benefits (they cease to be a skill for self-defense).

Comprehensive Martial Arts Mastery

Elevating Technique and Physical Excellence Through Innovative Training

Modern training of a fighter in martial arts includes the solution of two main blocks of tasks

The first is the study of the technique of the chosen type of martial arts, such as punching/kicking/grappling techniques.
The second is the development of physical qualities of the athlete, which should help him solve technical problems more effectively in the face of opposition to the opponent, such as speed, strength, endurance, etc.

Meanwhile, we offer a Completely Different approach to the training process, we bring our students to a different level of understanding of what martial arts technique is, and to a different level of understanding and feeling of physical qualities in martial arts, such as strength, speed, and endurance.

Rooted in Tradition, Focused on Excellence

Embark on Your ZHONG XIN DAO I Liq Chuan Journey at SBA Martial Arts Center

SBA Martial Arts Center is founded on the principles of ZHONG XIN DAO I Liq Chuan.

The idea behind the SBA Martial Arts Center is simple – to help anyone who want to embark on ZXD journey to get faster through the toughest part of the journey: The Beginning.

After strengthening the beginner’s knowledge – to improve together in the boundless expanses of free creativity in martial arts. In our teaching methodology, the understanding of the structure of one’s own body, the principles of maintaining the balance of this structure, as well as the laws of nature, under which the maximum efficiency of the implementation of any motor action is achieved, is brought up. By understanding our own nature, we learn how to interact with the opponent, preserving our own and destroying his balance.

This approach allows you to achieve better physical indicators (strength, speed, endurance, etc.) with less effort, while not harming your own body, as well as not to lose the sense of the reality of martial arts (a clear understanding of what attacking and defensive action is in a confrontation with an opponent is fostered).”

Philosophy of our school

Being present in the moment: recognizing nature as it is

The mind, consciously observing the changes, directs the force by the changes in space and time. Moving without violating the laws of nature, by philosophy, concepts, and principles, and maintaining the right qualities, you achieve the maximum result.

Know Yourself – Know Your Opponent
