What are the principles of Shen Chi Do?

Shen Chi Do principles are through its honest and dedicated pursuit. Its students may develop the qualities of righteousness, benevolence, propriety and indomitable spirit and wisdom.

What Makes Shen Chi Do different from other styles?

Very noticeable is the approach taken by the founder, Prof. Grand Master Shen of which is passed on to his most senior students.

The dogmatic and military type of system adopted by some martial art schools is not part of the structure within Shen Chi Do.

Not subscribing to the somewhat generally accepted view amongst many martial arts schools that tournaments and competitions are the most important element worth striving for, although we acknowledge the benefits gained form this, it does not take priority over personal development and the ability of self control.

Shen Chi Do is concerned with the promotion of the whole unit and not just component parts. That is why its members are not looked upon just as individuals, but as the very important links, which sustain the chain. 

Without the strength of the links, there can be no chain.

Who is Professor Grand Master Shen?

Prof. Grand Master Shen is the first Turkish man in history to create his own martial technique. As founder and President of Shen Chi Do, he has acquired skills and lived an extremely varied lifestyle studying martial arts in both Korea and the UK.  He originally was in the Cyprus National Gymnastics Team then decided to take Martial Arts as an additional hobby. He studied four different Martial Arts between 1965 and 1979 and this is the man that sliced cucumbers on necks and stomachs, and kicks apples off knives, blindfolded.

He has trained with Master Kim (since deceased) who only taught his unbelievable and untouchable techniques to Prof. Grand Master Shen although Prof. Grand Master Shen had the opportunity to train in South Korea with different Masters. It took him 25 years to become a master of the samurai sword and he says he is still learning. One of the noticeable reasons that makes the Shen Chi Do different from other styles is that the Founder, Professor Grand Master Shen is approachable to all students. This quality he instills into his senior students, so they too are approachable.
