Students are invited to train at the school for both long and short terms of stays. Students may also combine training and optional classes in the evening with complementary lessons available to learn Chinese Mandarin, Calligraphy, Acupuncture and Massage, Martial Arts Theory and Buddhism.

The teachings of the Shaolin tradition come from a lineage that dates back over 1,500 years to the founding of the Temple, Henan Province in 495 AD. Within the pursuit of transcendental strength, training is at heart, the expression of a deeper spiritual goal. The spiritual wisdom that underlies it's teaching inspires the practice that can produce such incredible and seemingly miraculous abilities.

As an old saying teaches, Chan Buddhism is to speak it's truths from the heart, not through literature. The school warmly welcomes all to study traditional Gong Fu here in China and become a part of it's community.
