Why Shao-Lin?
Even though the Shaolin martial arts are lethal, self-defense is only a tiny portion of the art's many benefits. A few benefits of kung fu include increased stamina, endurance and lung capacity, increased bone density, a stronger memory, a stronger immune system, lower emotional stress and blood pressure, just to name a few. These benefits and more are easily acquired through "time and effort" or "Kung Fu." Shaolin Monks strived for longevity and sought immortality. In doing so, they pushed the limits of human potential. Many monks found themselves living healthy and able, still out performing the younger monks, even until the day they passed away! We strive to make class enjoyable and enriching. Have fun and stay fit and healthy at the same time.
