What is Shao-Lin
Kung Fu (Gong Fu), meaning "Time and Effort", is a Chinese term used to describe martial arts that originated in China.
Shao-Lin Kung Fu was developed by the Shaolin Monks of Northern China and is comprised of many different martial art systems.
Shaolin Kung Fu was created for overall health, mental and physical conditioning, and self-defense. The primary aim of Shaolin
Kung Fu is longevity of life, while enhancing its quality through mental and physical fitness.
At the Chinese Shao-Lin Center our program is ideal for those looking to find a fun and unique way of improving their health,
fitness and personal safety through martial arts. We are a full time facility offering our students unlimited classes at an
affordable price. Our specialty consists of empty hand and weapons training, animal styles, Tai Chi and Chi Kung, as well as
ancient breathing and meditation techniques.
