Shaolin Kung Fu was founded in the Shaolin Temple of Northern China over 1500 years ago. This ancient system of martial arts is famed for its direct, no-nonsense approach. The style features quick movements with strong stances. The attacks and defenses are continuous and agile, with a heavy emphasis on self-defense. Northern Shaolin training includes forms, drills, weapons, partnered set fighting, and grappling. Advanced Northern Shaolin practitioners will also learn the 10 roads of Cha Quan.
