Shaolin Monks have been practicing Kung Fu for
over 1500 years. The Yi Jin Jing credits Shaolin
Kung Fu to Bodhidharma, which would make him an
important influence on the martial arts of Asia
in general. Throughout the years the art form
has been developed and has grown. Shaolin Kung
Fu is most famous for its animal forms, although
these are very good styles of Kung Fu, it
doesn't even scratch the surface of all the
forms that have come into existence by either
being a direct or indirect descendent of the
Shaolin Martial Arts. Today we keep the
traditions and the art form alive as we pass it on
to students of all ages, and from all ethnical
backgrounds.
In Shaolin, training encapsulates the elements
of the mind, body, and spirit. Through Kung Fu's
various forms and movements, one will gain
balance, rhythm, coordination, flexibility, and
strength - as well as the development of one's
Qi (pronounced "Chee"). We base our
trainings as they are taught at the Shaolin Temples in China.
