Swanda is an eclectic karate system which traces its roots back to China in 225 A.D. There, a Chinese physician named Hua T'o created a series of exercises based on animal movements. The warrior monks of the Shaolin Temple practiced the refined these movements of animals and elements, and called them the Eighteen Lo-Han Postures.

We like to separate our newcomers from the more experienced students to begin with. This gives them a chance to go at their own pace and to become relaxed in their new surroundings. We segregate them from the main body of the class although they do remain in the same training hall.
