Welcome to ZANSHIN - the newest martial arts strategic combat app for the iPhone and iPod Touch!! Zanshin (zhan-shin) translates to “post-action mind”…a state of mind one must have of continued awareness after a technique has been executed. It is an underlying concept that is universal in the martial arts regardless of origin. It describes a way each practitioner must behave during combat in order to achieve victory.

In the game, players must train and compete to prove their skill, knowledge and mastery of the martial arts. Fight in the dojo or around the countryside settings to see who the best is. Are you ready?
