THE ULTIMATE IN SELF PROTECTION

ZenDao Combative Martial Arts is a simple and truthful perspective regarding real personal physical confl ict and self protection and represents a dynamic vehicle for the skills and mindset required to actively counter real threats to your person. Also training with the various Oriental traditional weapons is a major feature in the ZenDao system, this training strengthens the arms and legs and is a great challenge to the mind adding another dimension to the training, ZenDao also integrates methods of Chinese Meditation, Qi Qong and Tai Chi this leads to a calm mind which is essential in stressful and traumatic situations.

The ZenDao system was founded by Mr. Kim Mc Menamin, after many years of research and development into what’s effective and what’s essential in Martial Arts with the main influence in development coming from Mick Coup’s Core Combatives System.

Kim who has over 30 years of Martial Arts experience under his belt has mastered many levels in various different systems of the fighting arts namely 2nd Dan in Goju Ryu Karate, 2nd Duan in Tai Chi, 4th Dan in Ryu Kyu Kempo and 4th Dan in Shito- Ryu Karate as well as mastery of the various forms of Oriental weapons. This vast experience led Kim the conclusion that most Martial Arts have either turned into sports or have too large a repertoire of techniques and also far too many non essential techniques to be truly effective.
