The term 'shaman' is a Tungus Mongolian word loosely translated as 'wise man', and is used generically to refer to spiritual healers from all over the world. Although not accurate, since only the Tungus people referred to their healers as shamans, the term has taken root and is generally accepted to describe spiritual intermediaries and sorcerers from all cultures. Simply, a shaman is a healer that uses spiritual, intuitive life-force, or chi.

My entire martial life has been centered around external arts: boxing, kung-fu, wrestling. It is only through the patient guidance of Hawksbrother that I have achieved true health and skills that will carry me throughout my journey. His teaching lineage is authentic, painless, and exact in every
way. I am honored to be his student.
I have been studying the internal martial arts with Hawksbrother for more than a decade. As a teacher, Hawks is challenging and patient, exacting and innovative. I have often spent an entire lesson on one move. Yet the cumulative knowledge of martial and meditative practices and techniques astonishes me. I have learned that hard work and even frustration lead to exhilarating moments of breakthrough. Persistence pays, practices deepen, old injuries heal, and vitality abounds.
We originally reached out to Hawksbrother in a Shamanic capacity, to help our teenage son who was having some very difficult spiritual problems. Hawks ended up helping our entire family. Our son experienced a great rapport with Hawks and with his help, he was able to overcome many difficulties. We now study Qigong with Hawksbrother, and have hosted classes and Shamanic Healing Circles in our home. Hawks is a gifted teacher and Shaman.
I trained intensively for 6 years in Hawks’ shamanic circles, qi gong and tai chi chuan classes. His teachings about healing, shamanism, internal arts, and communication with nature and spirit have been the foundation for me to grow into my calling. My gratitude is beyond words. Hawks initiated me into a new reality of life, rooted in ancient wisdom and looking towards the future with courage. I continue to feel his teachings permeating my life, and I am happy to call him my mentor, friend, colleague, and teacher.
