Shaolin Kungfu & Culture Foundation, Inc.

Classes

Kung fu (Levels 1 & 2)

As the birthplace of all martial arts, Shaolin emcompasses every style.  Kung Fu is the most aerobic of the arts offered.  There is no belt system but there is testing and students are awarded certificates.  Students learn stretching, stances, kicks, jumps, movements, and empty hand and weapon forms.

Children's KungFu (14 and under)

The focus is on basics and elementary forms to develop discipline, focus, and strength.  Train with your kids!  Adults who enroll in Kung Fu may train with their kids in Children's Kung Fu!

Tai Chi

Tai chi was originally and still can be a fighting art.  Today it is more commonly practiced to keep one's good health and stimulate the movement of chi or life force.  It is strengthening and meditative.  The movements are slow, fluid and mostly soft.  Shaolin Tai Chi is most akin to the Chen style.

Qi Gong (Yi Jin Jing)

Qi Gong strengthens the body and unblocks the flow of chi.  Students begin with Yi jin jing, a soft Qi gong form, very similar to Yoga, that was one of the four original forms created by Bodhidharma to help rejuvenate the monks after hours of seated meditation.  Its stances are similar to yoga.  Although not as active as Kung Fu or Tai Chi, it strengthens the body internally and externally.
