Named after the 18 Lohan monks, the followers of the Buddha, the 18 Lohans are an elite group who will train directly under Master Iain alongside the Kung Fu Retreat Instructor Team.

PATH OF THE MONK

The path of the Monk puts more emphasis on personal and spiritual development and self-healing and is less physically demanding.

Be part of a supportive community with a structured daily routine.

Improve physically and mentally – look and feel good at any age!

Develop self discipline and self mastery.

If you have 18 weeks available to immerse yourself in the life of Kung Fu, want to progress as far as you can with Kung Fu, and do not require instructor training, choose this option.

If you want to completely immerse yourself on the path of the Kung Fu Monk and especially if you want advanced training direct from the Master, choose this option. There can only be 18 Lohans at any given time so please plan in advance and make sure that a place is available for you.

About
About The Host

When we set out to design the Kung Fu Retreat, we looked to make all of our dreams about a perfect Kung Fu, Chi Kung (Qi Gong) and Meditation school come to become reality. We spent many years choosing the ideal location then set about building a full time, residential school with all of the elements needed by serious students and teachers alike. We have been perfecting the Retreat over the last 15 years and, although we are constantly fine-tuning and improving, are now close to the ultimate Kung Fu venue.
