Shihan Duke Swain began his training in Isshin Ryu Karate in the early 1970’s under the direction of Grandmaster Castanza. Several years later, he began the study of Goshin Jiu Jitsu & Judo also under the direction of Grandmaster Castanza and Sensei Gabriel. In 1984, he traveled to Japan. At which time he met Master Osoto, a great Chi Gung healer and Martial Artist. A few years later he returned to Japan to train with and study under Master Osoto. He was quickly taken under the Master’s wing and this eventually became his home(uchi-deshi). Since then Shihan has trained with many national and international martial artists and healers in such styles as Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Chin Na, Modern Arnis, Kung Fu, Mixed Martial Arts, Baguazhang, Aikido, Chi Gung, Tai Chi, Massage, Traditional Chinese Medicine, sports nutrition and health. He has received rank or a degree in Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Arnis, Kung Fu, Mixed Martial Arts, Chin Na, Chi Gung, Massage, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).


Shihan is currently researching the restorative healing powers of (Dayan) Wild Goose Breathing Chi Gung, an internal style of Chi Gung. Wild Goose Breathing has been dated back more than a thousand years and has been known to help cure such diseases as cancer, HIV, polio, arthritis, asthma, insomnia, depression and many more. (Note: In combination with a healthy life style and under the guidance of a Doctor. An Eastern or Western Medical Doctor should be consulted before the use of Chi Gung as an alternative treatment plan).


Shihan currently teaches at Zenshin Healing and Martial Arts, where he is not only the owner but also Chief Instructor. Shihan continues to travel throughout the United States and abroad seeking fellow martial artists and healers with which to train and learn.
