Chinese Shaolin Kung Fu is a martial art developed in the Honan Province of Northern China by Buddhist Monks as means of self defense and of disciplining mind and body. Centuries of practice and application have formed a system unparalleled in combat as well as mental and physical development.

 

In Shaolin are series of movements to develop agility, endurance, and various fighting techniques. The animal forms are based on the observation of the movements and behaviors of animals such as the Tiger, Monkey, Crane, Praying Mantis, and Dragon. Traditional weapons are also taught as part of the martial arts training. Spear, Broadsword, Straight Sword, and Staff are just a few of the weapons used in Traditional Shaolin Kung Fu.

More than just punching and kicking…

 

Conditioning the body is a large part of our curriculum at Traditional Shaolin Kung Fu. Our classes are designed to help you reach your maximum potential for physical fitness. Proper training increases not only strength, but also prevents break down from improper or over use of the body. Proper diet helps to insure training development. We cover Taoist nutrition, Chinese natural food cures, and other natural systems of nutrition.

Sparring consists of controlled fighting. We practice several different types of sparring methods such as one on one, multiple attackers, weapon sparring, ground fighting, grappling, etc.

 

We place emphasis on using the material that is taught in our curriculum. This means that every piece of material taught has fighting application that can be used in practical fighting and/or sparring.
