Shaolin Kung Fu

There is a popular saying among Chinese folks that "the world of martial arts comes from Shaolin".

Shaolin monks practice martial arts only to strengthen the body and for self-defense, and cultivate the mind and morality. Shaolin Kungfu movements and routines (Taolu) emphasizes specifically on the combination of movements and static, the balance between Yin and Yang, the complement of strength and softness, and combination of spirit and form. This is also the essence of the “Chan” Buddhism and is the uniqueness of Shaolin Kungfu.

Practicing Shaolin Kungfu could help children enhance body flexibility, coordination, balance, strength, and speed. Because it is the movement and exercise of the limbs, it can promote bone development, help blood circulation and increase metabolism and immunity, and help develop children's self-confidence, patience, concentration, strong will, and quick response.
