Intro

    Who we are

    Who we are: The Story behind Koom : Home to Ami Sham and his family...

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Focused on Family / Heritage


    🏯 Koom Retreat is based in a former monestary, 10 minutes from the village of Sidi Abdellah El Ghiate, named after a Sufi Saint. We are the 42nd generation to follow the Sufi Tradition, dedicated to helping the world learn and heal.


    ⚜ Hicham Essadki is the founder of Koom Retreat. His interest in Martial Arts started in 1985. After a successful career as a business leader in the Silicon Valley, Hicham returned to his roots and made the pelgrimage to meet his Sufi Master in Morocco. He was then  trusted to go to China to study Martial Arts with Shaolin Buddhist & Taoist monks for 1 year. 


    🥋 in 2018, Hicham was given permission by his Sufi Master Sidi Jamal & his Shaolin Shifu Master Qu to share this knowledge with the world. At Koom Retreat, he combines intensive martial arts training with the immersive spiritual journey of the Sufi tradition to create an authentic, holistic experience where people heal, learn and grow.


    ☯︎☪︎ Koom Retreat is based on the Sufi and Shaolin tradition, and offers its participants the opportunity to learn about and immerse in the traditions of the far east. We welcome students from any or no denomination, and you are welcome to participate in as muchor as little as you would like.  We see this as a cultural exchange program that forms the basis of our health and wellbeing philosophy (Read more on our Blog page).
