Practicing Shaolin Kungfu and Chan is a way of life at Shaolin Temple. Monastics have dedicated their lives to “cultivate the mind through Chan and strengthen the body through Shaolin Kungfu” over Shaolin Temple’s long history. Today’s Shaolin Kungfu is both the method and the result of Shaolin monastics’ direct experiences and realizations.

Learning Shaolin Kung Fu can enhance one’s physical and mental health and improve one’s quality of life. During sitting meditation one learns to focus the mind by being mindful of one’s breaths. One then can cultivate a clear mind, develop a happier outlook in life, and deal with worries and stresses more effectively. As one learns and practices Kungfu hand forms and weapon forms, one also learns to coordinate one’s breaths with one’s movements. One thencan increase the flexibility of tendons, develop balanced physique, and have muscular strength to withstand physical challenges and prevent injuries. As one trains in defensive and offensive combat exercises, one learns self-defense skills and therefore builds confidence. In today’s high stress environment, learning Shaolin Kungfu can help one enjoy greater physical and mental well-being.
