Specialties

Shao-​Lin Kempo or Kung-​Fu, as referred to by the Western Chinese, are one and the same. Shao-​Lin Kempo has no weak links in its style – it is a full and complete combat system

The origin of Shao-​Lin Kempo dates back as far as 4,000 years ago when the art was used by the military to ward off invading Tartans and Barbarians. The first Shao-​Lin monastery was erected on Mt. Su in Hunan Province by the religious monks who were seeking the salvation and unity of their souls and bodies, as well as the military monks, who were preparing to restore the overthrown Ming Dynasty.

The Shao-​Lin Kempo movements were derived from the five original animal forms: the DRAGON, the SNAKE, the TIGER, the LEOPARD, and the CRANE.

The fundamentals of Shao-​Lin Kempo teach restraint when provoked and defense when attacked. Rarely will you find a true student of this art involved in a fight or brawl, simply because he or she has the confidence of knowing they’ll be the ultimate victor; they will be able to walk
