Welcome to Cheng Hsin Nijmegen

The study of Cheng Hsin was created by world class martial artist Peter Ralston and is grounded in a school of internal martial arts, self inquiry and contemplative disciplines. It offers an opening for transformation, growth of consciousness and uncovering an authentic experience of body and mind, self and relationship.

In Cheng Hsin, the Art of Effortless Power our interaction is not based on resistance, reactivity or brute force, but instead on yielding to, acceptance of and connection with another.

Cheng Hsin Nijmegen is an international training center offering classes, workshops, business training and personal coaching. We welcome newcomers and insiders to join our investigations and practise. Rob van Ham is our head instructor.  

The Chinese characters ‘Cheng’ and ‘Hsin’ can be translated as ‘true’ and ‘being’.

“The essence of Cheng Hsin is found in questioning our own event. We’re striving to honestly investigate our actions, emotions, beliefs, relationships, and experience. It seems that in grasping the truth of any matter, the possibility arises of becoming more powerful, effective, and balanced in relation to that matter.”
