About this course
Since 2014, Kieren Krygier has tracked down and filmed traditional martial arts masters across Southeast Asia. Each videos inside The Martial Library contains extended interviews, off-camera conversations, rare demonstrations, and unedited teaching moments. That material lives here.
The Martial Library gives members access to more than 120 exclusive videos, drawn from a decade of on-location documentation and never publicly released. This is not supplementary footage. Some of the most candid and technically detailed material from every filming trip ended up here, including masters speaking freely, demonstrating principles, and sharing things they would not repeat on a public platform.
What the Library holds is not a polished course but a vault: raw and extended footage from encounters with masters across more than a dozen traditions, from Tai Chi Quan and Wing Chun to White Crane, Yi Quan, Goju-Ryu, Pencak Silat, Muay Thai, Bujinkan Ninjutsu, and Silambam. New footage is added as filming continues.
