Temple Of The Red Cedar Fist
Temple of the Red Cedar Fist is a podcast at the crossroads of martial arts, meditative practice, and somatic wisdom.
This show invites you into open dialogue and honest inquiry, where ancient traditions meet modern lives. Here, the disciplines of Kung Fu, meditation, and embodied awareness are not separate arts, but expressions of one living, breathing practice.
We explore what was once hidden. We speak plainly about the mysterious.
And we bring practice into everyday life.
Whether you're a practitioner, seeker, skeptic, or warrior on the path, you're welcome here.
Together, we walk the way of discipline, curiosity, and transformation.
Come as you are.
Let’s train, evolve, and remember that healing is not just personal. It’s collective.
