Shaolin Marshal Arts School


At the Shaolin Marshal Arts School, both campuses combined teach 23,000 students Wushu, and practice regularly to perfect their abilities and improve their skill. I was able to train with these great students, even though their skill level and flexibility surpased mine, and learned a great deal from them.

Shaolin Temple

The Shaolin Temple located in Henan Province is the origin of Chinese Kung Fu, or "Wushu" . I was fortunate to learn Kung Fu basics through the guidance of our Kung Fu teachers.
