About The Host
Discover the real Shaolin Arts
We are extremely proud of the strength and tradition of our Shaolin Arts.
Ours are the genuine arts of the Fukienese Shaolin Temple (which inspired so many other martial arts, including Karate). We practice our arts the way they were taught by Master Ang Lian Huat (1924-84).
These are not competitions, gymnastics, or demonstration arts but genuine Kung Fu. These are the arts that made the Shaolin monks so famous. These are the genuine, secret arts only recently revealed to non-Chinese.
We are honored to be able to pass them on to you.

FAQ
Why practice Kung Fu?
Kung Fu is much more than fighting! Traditional Chinese Kung Fu contains the secrets of the Ancient Masters and offers us valuable tools in life.
Literally, Kung Fu means hard work done over a long period of time. It trains our endurance and discipline and empowers us to overcome obstacles.
What are the benefits of Kung Fu practice?
Our arts train the body’s ‘Chi’ – the energy which permeates all living things and has profound effects on our health and well being.
Through practice we learn to harness and effectively manage our vital energy, "Chi". This has a benefit not only for our physical body, making it more resilient and able to last longer in time, but also for our mental and psychological health.
