Pen to Sword

PHECDA ONE presents PEN to SWORD. A series of podcasts taking Eastern topics, often considered alien to our Western minds, and explaining them using authentic sources. About us: Phecda One is associated with FWC ( Fujian White Crane Kung Fu & Tai Chi). Having travelled extensively across China over the last 50 years and networked with many Traditional Chinese Martial Arts practitioners, we have gained unparalleled access to people and practices which fall under the realm of Kung Fu. Kung Fu means hard work. So we consider any person with a professional level of mastery to have strived to excellence, whether with pen or with sword. And so we/ Phecda One give you access to the broadest brush of Kung Fu and the information to assist you in developing the tools to progress in your personal or business journeys. Or are they the same thing?
