Premier Grandmaster Don Baird

Welcome

We are a kung fu association that enjoys a great lineage with styles dating back nearly two thousand years to mainland China. Our association’s system, Pyong An Do Won, is a product of Shaolin & Wutang Mountain Kung Fu. With Shaolin come Meditations, Grappling, and Patterns. Chi Kung Healing and Kung Fu Trapping arts come from the Wutang Mountain Temple.

Though training to be warriors and healers, we are clearly not a school of arrogance or abuse of our skills. We are rather, individuals on a mutual path developing confidence and the skill to resolve problems without physical conflict. There is an old saying “To Strike Another is to Defeat Yourself”. We respect that thought and hope there will be very few times when hurting someone is the only answer.

Our kung fu association is not only of body, but of mind and spirit. Philosophy, which is neither incongruent nor conflicting with anyone’s personal religion, is absolutely crucial for developing a balanced and confident life. It helps align the student with the self and brings clarity of purpose. Individuals who are philosophically oriented are more likely to handle conflict peacefully and confidently.

Within our organization, there is an astounding amount of knowledge to those who seek it. Yet, what’s really important to us is that we are a family oriented association that prides itself of a friendly atmosphere where each member feels sincerely welcomed. We want and encourage this very personal environment. 

It remains our goal, collectively, that we provide a goal oriented association that adds to the peace and well being of all its members, families and countries.
