TRANQUIL EDGE:
A RETREAT WORKSHOP
FOR THE
MODERN WARRIOR

Step Away to Step Back In: Why This Retreat Matters

 

You already train hard. You show up—for your work, your loved ones, your responsibilities. You're disciplined, committed, and always learning.

But even modern warriors need space to reset.

Most martial artists don’t stop because they’re weak. They stop because they’re depleted. While regular training builds skill, it doesn't always offer time to breathe, reflect, and reconnect—with your purpose, with your culture, and with the community that supports you.

That’s why we created Tranquil Edge.

This isn’t just a break. It’s a strategic pause—a chance to step away from daily stress and step into a setting that restores and refocuses you.


 

The Challenge: What FMA Practitioners Face Today

 

Many Filipino Martial Arts practitioners love the training—but still feel something's missing.

 

They’re:

  • Hungry for deeper cultural connection, but can’t travel to the Philippines

  • Stuck in fast-paced lives with no time for extended retreats

  • Looking for balance—between growth and rest, sharpening and stillness

  • Seeking more than physical skill—wanting purpose, clarity, and energy

  • Overwhelmed by big seminars that prioritize volume over depth

  • Tired of environments that feel political, cliquish, or unwelcoming

  • Frustrated by spaces where not being part of a school or organization makes you feel like you don’t belong

  • Pressured to perform instead of being supported to learn and grow

  • Surrounded by ego-driven energy that rewards exhaustion over understanding

  • Longing for more connection, meaning, and time to integrate what they learn

 

While classes and seminars provide great technique, they rarely give space to reconnect with why we train.

 

Tranquil Edge is designed to meet that need.

Who This Is For & Why It Matters
 

This retreat is for martial artists who carry a lot—and are ready for a space that meets them where they are.

You won’t find luxury or silence here.


You’ll find movement, meaning, and a kind of stillness that comes from doing what you love, surrounded by people who get it.

Tranquil Edge is designed for:

  • Current Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) practitioners, instructors, and enthusiasts

  • Martial artists from any background curious about Filipino Martial Arts

  • People balancing demanding careers, caregiving, or constant pressure who can't take long breaks or travel overseas

  • Those seeking to reconnect with their training, purpose, and energy in a meaningful way

 

You're not just a martial artist. You're a modern warrior—someone who protects, provides, leads, and loves. 

 

This space is for you.

Come train. Come reset. Come home stronger.

"The venue was beautiful and surprisingly easy to get to from Maryland, perfect for busy people like me who need a quick but meaningful getaway. The retreat was very well-planned and thoughtfully organized with all participants in mind. I really appreciated how the sessions were flexible and adapted to each participant’s skill level. The instructors were attentive and made sure everyone understood the concepts. The topics on Philippine Inner Studies were fascinating. I even found simple practices I can continue at home to keep reconnecting with myself. Before the retreat, they even offered free virtual classes to help everyone prepare, which made the experience smoother and more meaningful. The sound bath was truly transformative, and the breathing exercises helped me feel deeply reconnected and refreshed. The nature walk was exactly what I needed after spending so much time in front of computers.. it gave me the mental rest I didn’t realize I needed. The people who attended were friendly, kind, and open-minded, which made the entire atmosphere warm and welcoming. And the food.. absolutely amazing! Healthy, delicious, and balanced. I even lost a little weight just over the weekend! Overall, it was a rejuvenating and memorable experience. I left feeling lighter, grounded, and inspired to continue my self-care journey. Highly recommend it!"

"Sessions were awesome. Enjoyed it all. It was clear there was a lot of planning involved for it to be as seamless as it was, 10 out of 10 there. Highly satisfied with the expertise. I appreciated the instructions. It was a great way to bond with everyone. I enjoyed sitting by the fire, chillin', roasting some marshmallows and talking. It was needed. Comparatively, the drive was a piece of cake. GPS worked and no issues. I would go back there. Overall, it was awesome and I'm still thinking about it. Good people and I had a great time. Heck yeah, I would attend another one. Do it again! Do it again!"
