As we reflect, on achievements over the last 45 years - this one goes down in history.

Tom Slaven, founder of Zen Chi Ryu, set a world record by crushing 2,040 lbs (approximately 930 kg) of ice with a single elbow strike.

This record-breaking feat took place at Woden, ACT on April 15, 1983

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Martin “Ben” Sheehan, who was a respected instructor and valued member of our Zen Chi Ryu family.

Sensei Ben was an influential instructor in the 80’s and taught many students with some of these students becoming our Instructors today—he was a mentor, a leader, and a friend to so many.

His dedication, patience, and passion for martial arts left a lasting impact on everyone he taught and trained alongside.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Sensei Ben.
