Master Teacher Jason Campbell is a 6th degree black belt with the United Martial Arts Association of America. United Martial Arts encompasses many martial, healing and yoga styles. He has been teaching full time for over 17 years, and currently owns Kung Fu, Zen Yoga and Zen Wellness Centers. Master Campbell has also worked with and consulted with over 200 clients in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia teaching entrepreneurial skills to the owners.
Master Campbell began his training in the late 80's under Master Teacher Jeff Arbiet. The discipline was Chung Moo Quan – a Korean hybrid of martial arts, chi gong and yoga. His first teacher (Master Arbeit) had his leg cut off when he was 19 (run over by a drunken boat driver while water skiing – only a piece of flesh kept the leg attached.) Master Arbeit used ancient Chinese and Taoist healing techniques to walk again. (The Doc told him to get comfortable in the wheel chair – that it was impossible to heal his leg.) It took him 7 years to walk and another 5 years to run again.
Master Campbell remembers: "The biggest thing he imprinted on me, (aside from all the form, movement, and healing techniques) was that ANYONE can benefit from the eastern arts – all you need to do is be willing to learn."
A decade later he continued his studies with Grand Master Pan Qing Fu (Northern style Kung Fu, Yang Styles Tai Chi, Bagwa Chung (Taoist healing and martial art) and Tiger Form, Master Michael Leone (Long Fist, Tiger-Crane and 18 weapons) Master Ping Cheng (Bagwa, Yang style Tai Chi, Chi Gong, Tai Chi Sword, Yin Yoga, Preying Mantis, 5-Element Theory, 8-Trigram Theory, Chin Style Tai Chi, Xing-Yi Quan). Master Liang Sho Yu (Medical Chi Gong) Baron Baptiste (vinyassa flow yoga), Rolf Gates (vinyasa flow yoga), Sifu Rick Wong (Xing-Yi Quan), Master Jerry Cook (Southern 5-Animal Kung Fu, Long Fist, Bagwa and sword training), Grand Master Sung Baek (earned a 1st Degree Master Instructor certification of the Doh Yi (ancient Taoist Healing Arts) system including Taoist Yoga, Yin-Yang theory, 5-Elements and 6 Energies, 7-Dimensions and 8-Trigrams (I-Ching) acupuncture and other healing techniques.) There are, of course, many other teachers Master Campbell has studied with – but the above are the main ones.
When asked why do you continue your learning and teaching, Master Campbell replied, "It is what I do, it is who I am."
My purpose (dharma) is to study the secrets of health, longevity, success and inner-peace and share what I find. I have no plans to let all this information "die in my head." I will help others reach their highest potential. I am fortunate not just to have found my passion years ago - but to be able to show others how to live theirs."
Master Campbell lives in Phoenix with his kids Jake and Mary. He divides his schedule running 6 companies, training instructors, personally training a select few students in his "specialty" programs such as The Living Zen Program, Immortality Training, Certified Instructor Training, Zen Business Boot camps, and United Martial Arts Inde-pendent School Owners (licensees).
He maintains his vigorous personal training and growth and balances this training with time spent with his children. He can be reached by emailing: jasoncampbell@zenbusinessbootcamp.com
