William Bunting was the founding owner of the school and had been involved with Asian martial arts from 1971 until his passing. He achieved a black belt rank in Okinawan Karate in 1981; he established a long-standing practice in several forms of Chi-Gong and internal martial arts over his more than 30 years of experience.
Throughout his entire lifetime of learning and teaching, Mr. Bunting had searched for a school where the deep spiritual values and wisdom as well as the physical aspects of genuine Asian martial arts could be preserved. Since most martial arts training in the United States focused on the physical attacking and defending aspects, Mr. Bunting felt that a more holistic approach would be much more beneficial to students. He founded the Academy in the hopes of promoting the authentic martial arts tradition that emphasizes the entire individual - the internal as well as the external.
To continue his training, thanks to the "inter-webs", it has been possible for Mike to secure a relationship with a Dow Master (GrandMaster actually). Mike is taking the holistic approach mentioned above to a new level. He introduces and teaches a very small group of students portions of the Tao, Accupunture Points, Qi Gong, Nei Gong, Energy Balancing, and Self-Healing. Tai Chi forms are used as the medium to gain practice and to prove to ones self of their ability in moving Chi. As a class, the goal is to "Know Thyself."
