Dr. Mark Cheng is my healer, my teacher, my friend and my brother.

A lifelong student of healing, harming, and helping the human body through martial and medical sciences, he has devoted countless hours across continents to connect the dots for his patients.

Spending time with the man will not only improve your mindset and how you operate as a human being but also leave your body feeling healthier, stronger and more bulletproof than ever before. (That is, as long as he's practicing medicine on you and not martial arts.)
