Not everyone can train in person.
Maybe you’re not in our area. Maybe your schedule doesn’t align with class times. Maybe you want to build foundation before stepping onto the mat. Maybe you’re already training elsewhere and want to add the White Lotus mechanical framework to what you already know.
Whatever your reason, MCMA’s online training platform exists for you.
And the best part? You can start for free, right now, with no commitment.

What You’ll Learn: The Path to Black Belt (White Stripe)
The online curriculum follows the exact same progression as our in-person training. You’ll work through three levels of Basic Skill Development before advancing to partner applications.
White Belt: Guarding Positions
- Master all 22 guarding positions
- Learn proper spatial placement with soft tension, slow velocity
- 5-moment holds for spatial confirmation
- Foundation for everything that follows
Yellow Belt: Guarding Actions + Striking Positions
- Transition from static positions to movement
- Learn the 8-step action protocol
- Begin building striking position vocabulary
- Understand how actions differ from positions
Orange Belt: Guarding Presentations + Striking Actions/Presentations + Blocking (Complete)
- Full-body integration of skills
- Self-defense technique forms (solo pattern drills)
- Complete BSD cycle for first three core skills
- Ready for partner application at Green Belt
Green to Black Belt (In Development):
- Partner application of all mechanics
- Progressive resistance and variable conditions
- Path to MCMA Black Belt (White Stripe) certification
The complete journey—from complete beginner to mechanically proficient Black Belt—is being built on this platform. Every video, every lesson, every progression is designed to take you there.
What This Platform Is (And Isn’t)
This platform teaches the physical mechanics of the White Lotus System.
You’ll learn positions, actions, presentations, and training protocols. You’ll master the stances (Bow, Cat, Horse, Twisted, Kneel), the animal guards (Dragon, Crane, Tiger, Snake, Panther), and the centered positions (Vertical Up, Diagonal Up, Horizontal, Diagonal Down, Vertical Down). You’ll build the Six Core Fighting Skills through structured, progressive training.
This platform does NOT teach the elemental framework.
The intellectual property of the White Lotus System—the six categories of elements, the cause-effect relationships, the strategic principles—requires separate access to the White Lotus Digital Library. That content is not included in your MCMA subscription.
Our strong recommendation:
For optimal results, combine both. Train the mechanics through MCMA. Study the elements through the Digital Library. The mechanics give you what to do. The elements give you why it works. Together, they create complete understanding.
But if you only want the mechanics—if you want to build physical capability without the conceptual depth—the MCMA platform stands alone. The mechanics are complete at their level. You can become an effective fighter through mechanical training alone.
The 10/100 Principle
Remember the ratio we discussed in previous articles:
- Mechanics: 10
- Concepts: 90
The online platform teaches the 10. The finite, masterable mechanical vocabulary that serves as foundation for everything else.
This isn’t a limitation—it’s by design. You’re not chasing endless techniques. You’re mastering a complete set of tools. Once you have them, the rest of your training life can be spent understanding what they make possible.
The 10 is achievable. It’s learnable. It’s finishable in the sense that you can complete the physical curriculum.
But the 10 also opens doors. Master it, and you’re ready for partner application. Master it and add the Digital Library, and you’re ready for elemental understanding. Master it, add the elements, and you’re prepared—if you maintain your skills—for the possibility of ASD training under Grand Master Leishman himself.
It starts with the 10.
It starts here.
