What is Shaolin Kung Fu

Founded in 495/7 CE, Shaolin developed it's first exercises around 537/9 CE. Originally based on Yoga and Tibetan Lama Kung Fu, Shaolin Kung Fu went through a number of phases from the 72 Fist Kung Fu, possibly the most practical fighting, to 5 Animal Kung Fu, which is the best and safest martial art in the world. Around 1100 CE, Shaolin introduced the concept of the 5 Animal Style; an adaptive and flexible type of Kung Fu that allowed for different types and personalities of practitioner and introduced simple and effective strategies accordingly. There is a vast amount of information relating to the Animal Styles on these pages. Just look under the Drop down menu at the top of this (and every) page under "Martial Art Styles" for Shaolin Styles and Information.

Full Support for Life

Shaolin Cyber Students have full support from the Shaolin Kung Fu & Traditional Chinese Weaponry for life! No conditions, clauses, fine print just full support as we do to any of our Shaolin Students.

Less Expensive and More Convenient than

It is best to have a look at this in perspective. The Shaolin Kung Fu and Traditional Chinese Weaponry Academy recommends around 25 to 35 training sessions before grading to the next level. At an average price of $10 per class this would be around $300 for one level, $600+ for two levels. The Shaolin Cyber Kung Fu DVD set is only $179 for both levels! Shaolin Cyber Kung Fu compares very favorably in costs as compared to training in a martial art school. It is more convenient and less expensive than going to a Kwoon/school!!
