Cheng Hsin Holland Camp

The Art of Effortless Power & Boxing

with Peter Ralston

16 – 25 June | 2023 in Nijmegen (NL)

“True innovators are, by definition, ahead of their time. How many of us wished we had met Bruce Lee, sat in a session with Carl Jung, or walked around Walden Park with Henry David Thoreau? Too late for that, but not too late to take notice of Peter Ralston. A superlative martial artist and caring teacher, his insights speak to us all.” Dan Millman – Author of “Way of the Peaceful Warrior”
