Koom Martial Arts Retreat Center in Marrakech is a unique destination where heritage, spirituality, and martial arts converge. Nestled in a former monastery just 10 minutes from the village of Sidi Abdellah El Ghiate, this retreat center is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Sufi tradition. The center is home to Ami Sham and his family and reflects a deep commitment to family values and heritage, welcoming visitors into a space dedicated to learning and healing for 42 generations.
Hicham Essadki, the visionary founder of Koom Retreat, began his journey in martial arts in 1985. After a successful Silicon Valley career, he returned to Morocco to reconnect with his roots. His pilgrimage led him to his Sufi Master, Sidi Jamal, who then entrusted him to study martial arts with Shaolin Buddhist and Taoist monks in China for a year. In 2018, with blessings from his Sufi Master and Shaolin Shifu Master Qu, Hicham was authorized to share his extensive knowledge with the world.
At Koom Retreat, Hicham combines rigorous martial arts training with the profound spiritual journey of the Sufi tradition. This fusion creates an authentic, holistic experience where participants can heal, learn, and grow. The retreat offers an immersive cultural exchange, allowing students from any or no religious background to engage as much or as little as they desire. This inclusive philosophy underscores Koom Retreat's commitment to health and well-being by blending Sufi and Shaolin traditions.
The essence of martial arts at Koom Retreat goes beyond physical prowess. It embodies self-defense, discipline, fitness, and mental toughness. Martial arts is not just about being physically strong but also about achieving cognitive clarity and focus. It teaches that the journey, not the destination, truly matters. This perspective encourages practitioners to embrace learning and personal growth without becoming fixated on the outcomes.
The retreat's concept stresses lowering the ego, which is often seen as a big problem for spiritual growth. People who do martial arts learn to let go of their egos, which helps them understand who they are and what they're here to do better. This process of getting to know yourself is essential for getting along with others and finding inner peace.
Another important part of the Koom experience is meditating through martial arts practice. Focusing on breathing and clearing their minds helps people learn more about their lives and selves. This practice doesn't need complicated routines or a lot of time. Instead, it focuses on making steady efforts to become more self-aware and calm.
Koom Martial Arts Retreat Center invites all to discover their inner strength, wisdom, and peace through a unique blend of ancient traditions and modern teachings. It offers a unique experience for those seeking to learn, heal, and grow in a serene and spiritually enriching environment.
