Becoming the Lotus

Emerging from the depths of a muddy swamp, the pure white lotus flower symbolizes enlightenment and rebirth. Playing a prominent role in creation stories in ancient Egypt and India, the flower is an apt choice for a school which emphasizes personal growth through learning martial movement.

From the darkest depth comes the purest of blooms, the only plant to fruit and flower simultaneously. The lotus is a metaphor for the self-actualization made possible through study and discipline. This is the mission at Hoa Sen Dojo.
