Pancha Tanmantra Martial Arts

Pancha Tanmantra (sanskrit for five elements) is a traditional Kung Fu form based on the five element theory of Chinese philosophy and Buddhist psychology.

Pancha Tanmantra originates from the Buddhist temple Pemuda Vihara Vimala Dharma in Bandung, Java, where it was taught by Buddhist Monks for strengthening physical, emotional and spiritual health.
Pancha also has ancestral roots in Bali Indonesia and draws on Hindu meditation practices.
Pancha incorporates  meridian systems, similar to those used in acupuncture to release energetic and emotional blockages to achieve balance and healing.
Within Chinese medicine the five elements of water, fire, wood, metal and earth can be used as diagnostic tools when treating clients for a diverse range of emotional and physical issues.
Although combat has been removed from this martial art, at an advanced level the practice still includes, pole, sword and Tiger&Crane form and is highly dynamic.
