 Some 1500 years ago in the Hunan province of China, Shao-lin monks wanted to live in isolation, pursuing the peaceful teachings of Buddha. In order to protect their freedom in a land filled with violence, they developed a powerful system of self-preservation. This system was based on the avoidance of conflict and the cultivation of mind, body, and spirit.
Today Kung Fu continues to fill a need in western society to combat stress and strengthen personal health and character. This web page is dedicated to those who wish to pursue a better way of life through the cultivation of the mind, body, and spirit.

After you read them you will know you have touched the heart of Shao-lin.
