Private Lineage Training

Read the following page carefully before you apply.

There are two ways for you to get access Private Lineage Training from Shifu Shawn Cartwright.

OPTION 1: Shifu's online Lineage Training Mastery Programs

Shifu Shawn rejects the archaic culture of secrecy so common with these ancient, powerful arts.

In the old days, the complete lineage systems were considered treasures, only passed down to a few elite members of society.

Shifu Shawn believes any person with integrity who is willing to do the hard work deserves the opportunity to learn the complete lineage system... the chance to reach a level beyond that of ordinary.

There are very few people in the world who have the privilege of learning the complete lineage system.

And fewer still who have the dedication, distinction, and desire to be step away from the pack of mindless 'zombies' ambling through life.

That means Shifu Shawn teaches the complete lineage systems, including the secrets of the arts.

To create the Lineage Training Mastery Programs Shifu Shawn Cartwright taught his son Drake the traditional internal arts and filmed the private lessons. He held nothing back when teaching his son. 

This method of transmitting the arts is called the Liu He Ta Method of transmission. Any art that does not contain all the elements of the Liu He Ta Method is not a complete art. Many teachers never got the complete Liu He Ta Method or deliberately hold critical information back from their students.

The tuition for these programs is expensive, but far less than the cost of flying to China, searching for a qualified instructor, and then hiring a top tier interpreter. Dr. Yinong Chong, co-founder of TCCII, has already accurately translated these arts into English using her P5LIM translation process. This means that nothing is lost in translation, and you don't have to worry about a low-quality translator "eating the gems."

And because these private lessons are documented in detail on film and available online, students are able to rewatch each lesson and select the best time for practice. This is one huge advantage of the online training.

Since Shifu Shawn uses advanced teaching methods and film production practices to accurately transmit these Ancient Arts he is able to document 100% of the forms, techniques, drills, theory, principles, movements, methods, equipment, and secrets of the lineage arts.

There is one additional stage that cannot be completely captured via film. That is the "hands on" correction. However, since many of the corrections can be accurately put on film, it is just about 1-3% of the entire lineage system.

We're talking about the actual real-world experience of "hands on" correction of the "feeling" from a lineage trained Shifu.

To sum it up, the online lineage programs can't give you the 1-3% of "hands on" experience, but they still deliver 100% of the secrets. All while being much less expensive than in-person, hands on private training.

Currently, the following Lineage Training Mastery Programs are available online:

  • Mastering Chen Taijiquan
  • Mastering Yang Taijiquan
  • Mastering Baguazhang
  • Mastering Xingyiquan
  • Mastering Shaolin Animals & Wudang Sword
  • Mastering Qigong
  • Mastering Meditation

If you need help deciding which of the Online Lineage Training Programs are right for you, then go ahead and complete the application for the Private Training so we can suggest a few options for you.

The Online Lineage Training Programs listed above are more than enough for most people. Because you get access to the exact same lineage teachings (including secrets) he taught his only begotten son for a fraction of the In-Person Elite Private Training tuition.

If you want to go further, get the in-person "hands on" experience, challenge yourself, and seek the higher levels of the Internal Arts, then maybe...

...just maybe...

...you're qualified for

OPTION 2: In-Person Elite Private Lineage Training

The purpose of this program is to provide the final "hands on" stage of the training that can only be completed in-person with Shifu Shawn Cartwright

Plus, there are some students who simply prefer in-person training and are willing the invest the time, travel, and tuition into their progress. This is especially true for those who want to become Lineage Trained Adepts or Instructors.

The training program for In-Person Elite Private Lineage Students is custom crafted to your specific requirements... with certain important caveats.

First, private training like this is a privilege, not a right. In the old days, the Lineage Master's would make an applicant go through a rigorous screening process.

The reason for this is quite simple... intensive in-person training requires a high level of personal interaction between the teacher and the student.

And it's important to know whether or not the teacher can teach what the student wants AND that the student will follow the teachings of the teacher. There is no sense in undertaking this rigorous and demanding training if the student isn't coachable or willing to do the work.

So, in order to qualify for In-Person Elite Private Lineage Training, you need to have genuine burning desire to achieve the rare Lineage Adept or Lineage Instructor level and a willingness to invest in your training.

This biggest investment by far is time. If you can't envision dedicating at least an hour per day to your practice, then this is not right for you.

This program is also expensive. The tuition is dependent upon the exact program and course of study, but a general guideline is that it's at least 10X more expensive than the online Lineage Training Programs.

Here are the arts currently available for In-Person Elite Private Training:

 

  • Any of the arts listed above in the Online Lineage Training Programs
  • Wing Chun Kune (Yip Man Lineage)
  • Tongbei Bajiquan (Ma Lineage, includes Piguazhang and Fanziquan)
  • Nan Huaquan (A rare style of Southern Boxing from Hua Mountain)

  • Weapons (Not a style but a vast curriculum of cold weapons: knife, cane, sword, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions about Private Training

The most common questions we get are

What are the arts I can study with Shifu Shawn?

You may choose any of the following arts which are also available in the Online Lineage Training Mastery Programs:

  • Mastering Chen Taijiquan
  • Mastering Yang Taijiquan
  • Mastering Baguazhang
  • Mastering Xingyiquan
  • Mastering Shaolin Animals & Wudang Sword
  • Mastering Qigong
  • Mastering Meditation

Alternately, you may choose one of the following arts that Shifu Shawn has learned but has not yet completely documented on film:

  • Wing Chun Kune (Yip Man Lineage)
  • Tongbei Bajiquan (Ma Lineage, includes Piguazhang and Fanziquan)
  • Nan Huaquan (A rare style of Southern Boxing from Hua Mountain)
  • Fujian Baihequan (Fukien White Crane)
  • Qinna (Not a style but a vast curriculum of locks, takedowns, throws)
  • Weapons (Not a style but a vast curriculum of cold weapons: knife, cane, sword, etc.)
  • Neidan (Internal Alchemy. Daoist Immortality Training. The highest level of meditation)

Can I train what I want?

The short answer is Yes and No. You may pick the art you wish to study. If Shifu believes a different art will be better for you, then he will let you know. Further, Shifu decides how to teach the art to each student. Don't even think about telling him how to teach. Seriously, it is the epitome of stupidity for a student to think they know how to teach an art they don't know. If you already know it, then why are you here?

What if I start an art and then want to change to a different art?

Communication is key. Shifu wants his students to get the art that interests them. So, if you start an art and then want to switch to another one, then politely request Shifu to do so. If he agrees, then you can change. Please note that if you do this you will likely have to start back at the beginning in the new art.

How much is tuition?

The In-Person Elite Private Lineage Training is customized for each student. The final tuition will be agreed upon by both Shifu and Student based on the training requested. Expect that it will be at least 10X the tuition of the online Lineage Training Mastery Programs.

Are there any scholarships available?

The short answer is "Yes", but there is a caveat which is important to understand...

In-Person Elite Private Lineage Training is not purely a transaction, that sort of "Western Consumer" thinking is the wrong approach. Just spending money won't get anyone the art. The student has to be willing to put in the hard work (remember, Kung Fu originally meant skill obtained through time and effort). Skills are developed through proper practice.

Consider this... while, on one hand, the tuition is expensive... on the other, it is quite cheap compared to what it would cost to fly to China and try to learn these arts on your own. Who has the Connections? Time? Resources? Interpretation? Access? Trust? to get these arts?

Many people have some of those but, the people who already have all those things are not here reading this.

Shifu Shawn teaches for love of the arts. He already invested the blood, sweat, and tears into learning the arts. He's already passed them to his son, Drake Cartwright. He already has most of them documented on film. He doesn't have to teach anyone else.

But he is willing to share these rare treasures with sincere students to help preserve them for future generations.

So, if someone can't afford the in-person tuition, then they may do the online program. It's the same material and they can learn the art while saving up so they can afford tuition for the final part of the "hands on" training. (And you need help figuring out which program is right for you, then complete the application and ask.)

That said, Shifu does occasionally offer scholarships to supremely qualified students. However, these scholarships are not free, they are merit based. The student will need to offer some sort of service that contributes to the preservation of these Ancient Arts. You can request this in your application.
