"Water Mountain... is a very supportive place to train. The instructors really understand how to work with you to achieve success, and to continually build upon and reinforce your successes. Everyone, students and instructors, work together to form an extremely positive environment. When I walked into the studio for the first time, I immediately felt at ease--sometimes I come in early just to relax in the calming environment. I feel sincerely respected by everyone I've met here. WMMS is like a supportive family, always encouraging me to new levels...."
--Alan Kaufmann, East Flag

"Water Mountain has improved my health so much-sometimes I can hardly believe it! When I first started coming here I was having so much pain, I was just about disabled. Now I'm energetic, feel younger, and I'm nearly pain free. Water Mountain has changed my life for the better....You can come here to handle stress, have a more balanced life and receive lots of positive support both from the staff and from all the friends you make here."
--Maureen White, West Flag

"Water Mountain Martial Arts has been a huge asset for my sons now ages 11 and 13. They not only benefit from the strength and skill building, but also are learning self-defense and discipline. They have learned that it takes a lot of hard work to accomplish some goals in life, but also that it is worth it all in the end."
--Judy Stratton, Upper Greenlaw

"Master Steenrod, I am writing you this letter to thank you and Water Mountain Martial Society for providing martial and lifestyle programs that have been part of my life for several years now. WMMS allowed me to achieve success, and continually build upon my successes, by reinforcing my positive frame of mind, and by cultivating the processes that move students toward imminent objectives using a clear agenda."
--Josh Edwards, East Flagstaff

"Water Mountain Martial Society is a great place to train. Besides the beautiful facility, every instructor is professional, respectful, easy to get along with, and concerned with your progress. The lessons are always very useful and practical, and techniques are demonstrated in a way that makes them quite easy to learn and do, often with surprising results.

A question I've often found myself asking after a class is: "Was I really just able to do that?".

Training at Water Mountain has also improved my health in a long-term and lasting way, both physically and mentally. After training there I find myself with much less stress, as well as an increased drive to do well in life, with the skills and confidence I need to do so.

I would encourage anyone interested in training to try it out. You won't be sorry!"
--James "Bolt Cutter" Patton, West Flagstaff

Life of the Beat Down

Dear Friend,

I sit down with Dylan, Sasha, James, and Alan after 40 minutes of solid, hard-core matches. No target off-limits, not the groin, not the head. No techiques off limit--not chokes or throws, not knees or elbows. They are in the last SIC session. The last of ten weeks of optional training available to all Water Mountain members. This is the combative sparring training that drives the ancient art of the Heaven Fist.

This program has had a large number of members in it. Male and Female. Youngest at age 8. Oldest at 62. No limits as to skill. Members are in it that are not in the kung fu program. No limits as to size. Everyone is heavily and fully geared to prevent serious injury.

The drills grow difficult in small, easy steps as the Heaven Fist is meant to be doable by everyone, and the steps let each person find their own strengths and weaknesses.

For 15 minutes, these 4 guys respond to my questions and answer honestly and frankly about their experience. Their answers will surprise you!

This is a 15 minute sound clip and will take time to load. Please be patient. It is available through a media player box that will pop up when it is ready.

Warm regards,

Master Mike Steenrod
