What to write about
Four kinds of correspondence.
Workshops
Regular workshops in Zürich, Bournemouth, Atlanta and across Europe. Group sessions produce stronger results than any downloaded lesson.
Lectures & research
Academic lectures on the history of martial arts, medicine and religion. Recent hosts include the Theosophical Society of Atlanta and the University of Georgia.
Consulting & security
Selective engagements for public figures, institutions and security professionals. By introduction or prior correspondence.
What helps
A short, concrete message travels furthest.
- 01
Name the occasionA proposed date, a place and the kind of audience tell the team more than a general enquiry does.
- 02
Say what you want to addressFor private work, one or two sentences about the practice, question or difficulty are enough to begin.
- 03
Mention the constraintsBudget, travel, room size, time zone. Naming them early avoids a round of correspondence later.
- 04
Expect a practical answerThe team replies with the next concrete step — or says plainly if a different format would serve you better.
