How do you move with purpose without losing your center?

The Shifu of Sherman Oaks is a profound sequel to The Monk at Gate B12, deepening the journey from stillness into motion.

In this book, Ethan Starke walks the reader through the lived discipline of intentional movement - through pressure, leadership, betrayal, grief, and mastery. Blending Shaolin principles, spiritual reflection, and grounded wisdom, this guide is a powerful meditation on how to live, lead, and build without breaking.

It's not a book of lessons - it's a book of breath.

One to carry, return to, and walk beside.
