Si ping City Shao Lin Martial Arts Academy

Note from the Academy's
General Manager

  Great grandmaster Shi shu xiFang Zhan Shi Yong Xin



We are devoted to providing all levels of Shao lin martial arts training from Shao lin monks and/or their disciples from the Shao lin temples in both northern and southern China.

Our school was formerly known as the Northern China Shao Lin Martial Arts Academy. However, we have been granted by government seal from Si ping City government in Jilin province China, where our school is now located, authorization as the Si ping Shao Lin Martial Arts Academy, which is now one of the most famous and modern academys in northern China, and a treasure of Si ping City (to view a copy of our license click here).

Students attending the academy may receive additional education in Buddhism, Taoism, and the Mandarin dialect if they wish to do so, at no extra cost from Buddhist culture monks located in the Jai Lan temple located next to the academy.

Our academy emphasizes the teachings of Shao Lin kung fu, and Wu Dang kung fu, Tai ji Chen (Yang style) technique and shao lin traditional qi kung or qi gong.

We understand how to train you to help you progress in a timely manner.  You can focus your mind more clearly while learning the traditional shaolin kung fu.  If you desire hard training, the academy is the right place.  However, we can also provide soft training for improving and maintaining good health; i.e. slow qi gong, taiji quan, etc..

Our school is not a vacation place to relax in.  The teachers here prefer to train only students desiring to learn hard skills, and whom can keep their minds focused on the training.

If you have things you need to take care of before coming to the academy which are of concern or stressfull to you, it's better to wait until you can complete or finish them before attempting hard training. In Chinese hard training is expressed as "Quan Lian Qian Biang, Qi Yi zhi Xian", which directly translated means "you repeat the exercises thousands of times for each routine quan.  The original meaning (of what these forms are for) appears naturally in your mind. So you will need to learn to focus your mind more to grasp what you learn; this is really important.

Training at the academy focuses on a student's spirit, mind, and body, including morality, stamina, and patience.

"For translators, the teachers and I always try to help everyone in the academy who need help on local places, etc., just like you are part of our family, and you are one of us.  We will do our best to help you with any difficulties you may encounter during your stay here.

If after reading the academy's web pages you have any questions, please feel free to E-mail or call me.

I Hope you enjoy your stay and achieve good results in your training.


Sincerely,
Che Wen Long
