Your Martial Art Prowess and Self-Understanding Upgraded |

The Way Of The Internal Gate's (IG) sole aim is giving you the most effective tools to enhance and elevate you towards full martial art mastery and experience. IG is a catalytic art that is ideal for anyone whether you've had no previous training or you're currently training in another art and wish to couple it to increase your ability fast, and with greater knowlegde of your self. With a concise and evolving approach, IG not only trains you in achieving superior physical prowess but also goes far beyond that experience and upgrades you in your totality, by recognising and training you in the full spectrum of the human being. IG trains you and gives experience in the movement (not only physical) of your whole being. From this you learn to unearth your very own journey to self-understanding. IG's philosophy is learning martial art to live in harmony and use it as a medium to self-realisation. In IG, this philosophy is known as the 3 stages of martial art (IG) cultivation. |

Origin |
|
IG originated from much research, in the attempt to get to the root of what martial art truly meant to Ade Finch . Although he began his martial art voyage in traditional arts, he would spend much time looking into different methods, privately comparing with others and so on. He always had a feeling inside of him that he could not put into words. It was this feeling welling up inside that led to such a diverse curriculum and obsession for martial arts study, questioning all he did and why, along the way. He cannot say exactly when it happened but he doubted himself, and all the training he had done up to that point. For whatever reason, he needed time to understand it so he stopped training within a tradition. He then trained by hiself and chose to use no resources but begining with the question "How can this be of most use?", to find this something from within him. He came to some realisations that helped greatly in the direction of his training and this led to opening a club on 1 April 2004. This club eventually became The Way of the Internal Gate. IG is not a product of previous martial arts, but the awareness and realisations of the human being. In fact, it is the cessation of organised method and dual respect for the laws of nature/humanity. It was not until Ade detached himself from previous training that things began to click and make clear sense to him. Thus, IG became a vehicle for him and now...the individual, to find and express oneself with their true ability in martial art and genuine understanding of their true self. |
