Sifu Mark Rasmus Complete Course Bundle: All 6 Courses 

Looking for every Sifu Mark Rasmus course in one place? This bundle brings together all six programs Mark Rasmus has released through The Martial Man — Elastic Force Chi Kung, Intrinsic Energies of Internal Martial Arts, Initiation into Hermetics, The Practice of Magical Evocation, Key to the True Quabbalah, and Teacher Training for Chi Kung, Hermetics, and Meditation. Below you'll find what each course actually covers, who it's for, and where the full curriculum runs deepest, so you know exactly what you're getting before you commit to the path.

Who Is Sifu Mark Rasmus?

Mark Rasmus is an internal arts teacher based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, with more than three decades of teaching behind him. His name comes up constantly in two very different communities: martial artists chasing real elastic power and Fa Jin, and students of Franz Bardon's Hermetic system looking for a living teacher who can actually transmit the work rather than just explain it from the page. Rasmus built his entire course library to bridge those two worlds — internal martial arts (Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Wing Chun) on one side, and Hermetics, Quabbalah, and magical evocation on the other. He's also the author of Back Door Into Hermetics, a companion guide to Bardon's Initiation Into Hermetics.

Most of his course material was filmed during live, closed-door workshops and private instructor trainings, which is part of why students describe it as dense and "transmission-based" rather than a typical talking-head tutorial. If you've spent any time in qigong, internal martial arts, or Western esoteric circles, you've probably already run into his name.

What's Included in the Sifu Mark Rasmus Course Bundle

The full bundle is structured as six progressive courses, numbered 1 through 6 in Rasmus's own curriculum. Here's a breakdown of each one.

1. Elastic Force Chi Kung Instructors Workshop

This is course one of six and the foundation almost everyone is told to start with, even students whose main interest is the Hermetics or magical side of his teaching. It's an enormous archive — well over 660 video lessons covering Qi Gong fundamentals, intrinsic energy development, Fa Jin (explosive force), and the mental training that underlies all of it. Because it was filmed during real instructor-training sessions, the lessons are principle-based rather than scripted, which means a lot of the "closed-door" detail that usually only gets passed on in person.

Who it suits: martial artists, Qi Gong practitioners, meditators, and energy workers who want to build a felt, working sense of internal power rather than just theory.

2. Intrinsic Energies of Internal Martial Arts with Sifu Mark Rasmus

Course two builds directly on the Elastic Force foundation. It's a large, closed archive — over 250 lessons and tens of gigabytes of footage — focused on developing elastic power in both body and mind for martial application. Unlike the first course, this one is a finished, complete archive; no new lessons are being added. Students who've trained other internal arts schools for years often note that this material goes noticeably deeper than what's typically taught outside of private lineage.

Recommended prerequisite: Elastic Force Chi Kung, to build the base vocabulary the lessons assume you already have.

3. Initiation into Hermetics with Sifu Mark Rasmus

This is the course most directly tied to Franz Bardon's classic text of the same name — Rasmus walks through the ten steps of Bardon's system with practical guidance designed to help students move through the Initiation process faster and with fewer dead ends. It's a massive library, over 380 lessons, much of it recorded during private workshops, covering mental mastery, focus training, and elemental work (fire, air, water, earth). Reviewers consistently point to this as the course where the "transmission" aspect of his teaching is most noticeable — students often describe shifts in perception (clairvoyant or clairaudient openings, for example) that happen during the sessions themselves, not just from reading about the theory afterward.

Who it suits: anyone already working through Bardon's Initiation Into Hermetics book who wants a living teacher's guidance through the same material, plus martial artists and meditators looking to deepen mental and energetic control.

4.The Practice of Magical Evocation

Course four moves into evocation work proper — invoking and working with the planetary and elemental spirits described in Bardon's second volume, The Practice of Magical Evocation. The curriculum is organized in levels, starting with the four elements (Fire, Air, Water, Earth) and Earth Zone beings, then progressing through the planetary spheres — Moon, Venus, Sun, Jupiter, Mars — with invocation work, magic circle theory, and Akasha-to-light training along the way. It's a long course (55 lessons, over 31 hours of footage), and Rasmus is direct about the prerequisite: this isn't a starting point, it's a continuation.

Recommended prerequisites: Elastic Force Chi Kung and Initiation into Hermetics. This is not beginner material.

5. Key to the True Quabbalah

Course five follows Bardon's third volume, working with guided meditations recorded from private classes built around the Quabbalah as Bardon taught it — not the Hebrew academic Kabbalah most occult books default to, but a practical, language-based system of universal correspondence. Students are expected to have completed the first four courses before starting this one, since it assumes a working familiarity with elemental and planetary invocation already built through the Magical Evocation course.

6. Teacher training for Chi Kung, Hermetics, and Meditation

The final course in the series, and the one built specifically for students who want to teach this material themselves. It covers the mechanics of giving energy transmissions, esoteric teaching methodology, and how to structure a class or workshop so the transmission side of the work actually lands for students — not just the technical instruction. It also touches on applied sessions like Chi Kung for healing and guided foot-spa-style relaxation work. This is the course Rasmus designed for people heading toward becoming instructors in his lineage, or anyone who simply wants a deeper, more complete understanding of how the whole system fits together.

Recommended Course Order

If you're working through the bundle from scratch, Rasmus's own course numbering gives you the intended path:

1. Elastic Force Chi Kung (foundation)
2. Intrinsic Energies of Internal Martial Arts
3. Initiation into Hermetics
4. The Practice of Magical Evocation
5. Key to the True Quabbalah
6. Teacher Training for Chi Kung, Hermetics, and Meditation

Skipping ahead is possible, but the later courses (4, 5, and especially 6) are written and filmed on the assumption that you already have the vocabulary and felt experience from the earlier ones. Going in order is genuinely the easier route, not just the "correct" one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need martial arts experience to start? No prior martial arts background is required for Elastic Force Chi Kung, the entry-level course. It's built for complete beginners as well as experienced practitioners — what matters more is willingness to actually practice the exercises rather than just watch.

Can I jump straight to the Hermetics or Magical Evocation courses? You can technically purchase any course individually, but Rasmus and the course pages themselves are consistent on this point: Magical Evocation and Key to the True Quabbalah are built on the assumption that you've already done the foundational energy work and the Initiation into Hermetics material. Skipping ahead usually means a lot of the instruction won't make sense yet.

Is this suitable for someone with no esoteric or occult background at all? The earlier courses (Elastic Force Chi Kung, Intrinsic Energies) are accessible to complete beginners. The Hermetics, Evocation, and Quabbalah courses assume an open mind and a serious commitment to daily practice, but they don't require prior occult study — Bardon's own books are designed as self-contained systems, and Rasmus's courses are designed the same way.

Final Thoughts

Whether you're chasing real elastic power for martial application, working through Bardon's Hermetic system with a living guide, or aiming to eventually teach this material yourself, the six Sifu Mark Rasmus courses cover that entire arc in one continuous curriculum. Start with Elastic Force Chi Kung if you're new, or jump to the course that matches where you already are in your practice — just go in with the patience the material asks for. This isn't fast content; it's the kind of teaching meant to be revisited, journaled, and practiced over months, not binge-watched in a weekend.
