On June 21, 2025, a number of One With Heart students earned their Brown Sash during a 24 hour test of strength, resilience, and focus.

Between July 19—20, five One With Heart students earned their Black Belts. These photos are only a small sample from their 48-hour test.

One With Heart Summer Camp 2025 BEGINS with one of the four animals at the heart of Pukulan - the mighty monkey! This 5-day camp balanced fun games with monkey-style martial arts training, using tricky monkey moves to get past an array of obstacles. Campers learned moves like monkey hops and monkey knees smashes and played games like Monkey King to test their agility.

En garde! One With Heart's Swashbuckler's Sticks and Swords camp was a thrilling way for campers to safely learn the art of sword fighting. Over 5 days, each camper played games like Fire Keeper, completed challenges, and learned machete basics like hacks and follow-through strikes. Not only did they practice fun striking patterns and fighting basics as a team, but they even got to decorate their own sticks to keep at home!

Campers discovered the wonders of the silambam staff in this thrilling camp. Inspired by the mighty crane, one of Pukulan's four animal inspirations, this style gives fighters the ability to soar into the air and land huge sweeping strikes against their opponents. But it's not all technical training - campers played games like Cranes vs. Tigers to practice balance and even have the chance to decorate their own silambam staffs! 

Week 4 of One With Heart Summer Camps activated the campers’ fists, knees, and elbows in this wildly fun camp inspired by the mighty ape. Campers were transformed into the mighty ape for this 5-day adventure where they worked in groups to learn ape-like strikes and broke boards.

Over 5 days, campers learned the power of the double sticks and the benefits of using a staff as an extension of their body. They struck! They parried! They...balanced bean bags? In a series of challenges and games, every camper gained stick & staff skills, built their strength, and expressed their creativity by decorating their very own sticks. 

Monkeys, Tigers, Cranes, and Snakes - OH MY! These four animals are the guiding inspiration in early Pukulan training, and this 5-day camp gave campers the opportunity to discover their inner guides. They learned to strike like a snake, kick like a crane, pounce like a tiger, and punch like a monkey, all while playing games, competing in challenges, and breaking boards.
