Shaolin Kung Fu is undeniably one of the most iconic and widely recognised styles of Chinese kungfu. It is said that the Shaolin temple was founded in 495AD, with its original purpose to serve as a Buddhist monastery. The style born out of the temple stems from humble beginnings,initially created in response to the monks' fear of bandits raiding and desecrating their holy home.

Today it is an extremely diverse and multifaceted system, allowing the students of this style to pursue any number of paths which suit their individual interests. Some prefer to explore the more traditional route of practical applications and self-defence; others may choose to focus on the more aesthetic elements of Shaolin.

The Shaolin masters who teach at our school are all extremely talented and enthusiastic individuals with many accolades to their names. They are keen to share the secrets and lessons learned at the temple with foreigners, in the hope that this intrinsic element of Chinese culture continues to like live on in the hearts and minds of Chinese and non-Chinese alike.
