Heaven Man Earth
Heaven Man Earth Internal Arts International is dedicated to the propagation of authentic Yang-style taijiquan. With training methods to achieve one’s goals in the health, martial and spiritual aspects of taijiquan.
The basic body skills, qi gong, forms, weapon training, pushing hands and fighting skills are drawn from two Yang-style lineages making what we consider to be one of the most complete and authentic Yang-style transmissions available today.
As the system is taught, students work first through the Huang Sheng Shyan system as a direct doorway into the internal. The technology heavily focuses on developing song (release) and ting (sensitivity) and the total abandonment of external force or li.
The union of these training methods into one progressive system, under the skilled guidance of Sifu Adam Mizner, produces an extremely deep and complete system of authentic Yang-style taijiquan. In our experience this alive system produces results unmatched anywhere else, leading the student from beginner to entering the true door of the internal and right through to the higher mysteries of taijiquan.
Classes are taught by instructor Duran Mack, alongside his top senior students.

Instructor
Damien Cousins
Damien has been involved in martial arts since the age of 8, starting with karate and American kickboxing. Both arts provided a solid foundation and were great fun, but it wasn’t until he was 18 that he truly committed to his martial arts journey. He focused deeply on JKA Shotokan karate, training under highly respected teachers, including the renowned Sensei Ohta. Through years of hard work and dedication, Damien earned his black belt, solidifying his place within the discipline after more than 13 years of serious training.
Seeking to expand his skills further, Damien found a Chinese kung fu teacher named Sifu Leo Au Yeung, studying under him for 5 years. This opened the door to the internal arts, and from that point on, Damien never looked back. He then had the opportunity to study under one of HME’s finest, Duran Mack, a direct disciple of Adam Mizner. This system is by far the most effective he has come across. To ensure continuous growth, Damien regularly attends workshops with Adam Mizner and takes great pride in witnessing the positive transformation in those who learn and practice this incredible art.
