Our MISSION at Butterfly Martial and Healing Arts, est. 1997, is to share the traditional arts with the general public and various specialized groups- from those in need of health and healing (which is us all) to hard core martial arts warriors, and everyone in between.

A key part of this MISSION is bringing knowledge, balance, and harmony to and between these various groups and individuals and society as a whole. The truth is that the WAY OF HEALING and the MARTIAL WAY are not in conflict. They are in fact inter-connected parts of a greater whole.

This is the true, traditional way they were always taught and understood in their native, Asian birthplaces. This is how all the great teachers and traditions have always shared the arts- from Shaolin and Wu Dang, to O-Sensei Mikao Usui and O-Sensei Morihei Ueshiba, to Lao Shr Tao Chi Li, Dr. Maung Gyi, and so many others- the known and unknown great teachers of the Way.

This is how Sifu Michael Fuchs was taught and how he shares the arts to this day- as true arts of the Spiritual Warrior and Ancient Treasures For Modern Times. To quote his teacher, “May the Blessings Be.”
