Authentic Lineage

Teachings drawn from centuries-old Shaolin training manuals and wellness classics, passed down master to disciple.

Global Community

A welcoming space for practitioners of all ages and backgrounds to learn, grow, and connect worldwide.

Whole-Life Practice

Shaolin is more than movement, it’s meditation, self-discipline, and service that carry into daily life.

Our Roots

Founded in 495 A.D., the Songshan Shaolin Temple is the birthplace of Chan Buddhism and the cradle of Shaolin Kung Fu. Its treasured methods, including classic routines like Yijinjing (Change of the Sinews), continue to guide modern practice and inspire our work worldwide.
