"I first met Andrew Markell in the dense rainforest outside Portland, Oregon. We hiked for two hours through dripping cedars and hemlocks, talking about the fractures in modern society - and what it might take to mend them. Andrew moved through the forest like someone entirely at home in dissonance: steady, alert, unhurried. Andrew is part philosopher, part fighter - a man who defies easy categorization, bridging worlds that rarely meet."
"In recent years, he's trained some of the world's most accomplished investors, entrepreneurs, special forces veterans, and CEOs in the same practice - how to find clarity and composure amid uncertainty. For decades, he has studied how people and organizations work effectively with conflict and create order from chaos. His work weaves together science, ancient training and healing systems, and the fighting arts to examine how systems - whether human bodies or family enterprises - fracture under pressure or transform because of it."
Andrew Markell combines trauma specialization, martial arts, and organizational study to help individuals and institutions handle conflict and uncertainty. He co-founded The Dawn Collective to provide healing solutions for service members and practices yiquan, a nervous-system-based martial art that builds speed and power. He trains investors, entrepreneurs, special forces veterans, and CEOs to cultivate clarity and composure during crises. He studies how people and organizations create order from chaos and how systems fracture or transform under pressure. His approach integrates science, ancient training and healing systems, and the fighting arts to design resilient, adaptive personal and cultural systems.
