Kung Fu At Home Training (Est. 1996)

Welcome

You know that there is a link between fitness and health but did you know that there is a link between confidence and you feelings of well-beings? Human behaviors are guided by how confident we feel in our abilities. Poor confidence can impact critical adaptive functions and impair life quality. Distorted decision-making and confidence have long been associated with mental health problems. If you do not feel confident around others, in public, at work, school or such, you make decision based on your apprehensions not best interest. That is negative decision making. It is also one of the reasons Kung Fu is such a great way to become healthy and fit, and become more confident in your own skin.

We have many success stories from people training Shaolin Kung Fu with us, the non violent martial art. The art that does not hit first and ask question later, but the art that helps you gain the confidence to step back and stand up for yourself. You do not have to train the hard aspect of the art but you do need to train. You need to learn how to move your hands, what posture to take, and how to protect yourself when confronted by an aggressive, violent or even a belligerent person. Not only for your own sake, but also for your family!

Initially, it is enough if you just watch the recordings and visualize yourself following. This will prepare your mind then, when you have a few moments, warm-up, stretch, and spend fifteen minutes training. It really can be that easy. The instructions are clears and comprehensive, and you can train them anywhere. Have a look at how important your posture is and how you can improve it almost immediately.

What Shaolin Kung Fu

It is a self defence form taught in the Shaolin Temple to all monks for health, fitness and well being. It is taught to allow them to feel confident and in control even in hostile areas and situations, and when needed, defend themselves and others without causing undue harm to the attackers! Shaolin is not a mercenary style, not an army style, not a village style, not a war style, it is the Shaolin Buddhist Temple Style, plain and simple. Shaolin Academy teaches kung fu in the same spirit including yogic stretching and strengthening exercises as we believe existed 1500 years ago when it was introduced into the Shaolin Buddhist Order.

Warrior Monks

Most monks would spend their time in managing the running of the Shaolin Temple, studying, meditating and sleeping. A few monks, no more than 5% or 10% are allowed, by Royal Decree, to be warrior monks. They spend their time in the same way as the other monks except they maintain the safety of the Shaolin Temple as their main duties and thus train a disproportionate amount of kung fu each day and are allowed to train weaponry. The level of detail of each technique that they learn is high, to the point of absolute exactness for safety and efficiency. They learn then how and where as the others, but also the why and variations. We, at the Shaolin Academy, think the why is the most important aspect of every technique.

Online Training Program

How can you learn kung fu online? We have been teaching on line kung fu since 1996. Initially it was very controversial but we have been teaching it for a generation and we are still teaching it. If you are determined, the impossible is not, sometimes. Someone said that they try and do something impossible at least once a week. Imagine the surprise you get when you pull it off, every now and then. Aside, often the effort gives the greater reward in broadening your horizons and breaking you own limitations. Our oldest current member is 82y.

$29/y Membership & email Support

Joining and training with the Shaolin Academy Kung Fu Academy is easy and inexpensive. Read and agree to the indemnity terms and conditions in the form to the right, and register through PayPal. Once you subscribed you will receive confirming e-mails from both PayPal (almost immediately) and the Shaolin Academy (within 72 hours) with instructions how to proceed. And when you are ready book your for a Assessment or just a Review below at the bottom of this page. If you grade with us successfully by sending us a recording of you performing each level or technique, we will certify you too!

What Now

Once you registered, you will receive a confirmation email and a curriculum what you need to learn to pass the first level. Even in this, you have four choices, Bare Hand Techniques, Weaponry, 72 Fists, Shaolin Forms. Each lead to Black Sash on a sperate course so state which you wish to follow. Then, using the list, learn what you chose, have it reviewed, then, when you are ready, you grade. Yes, it is that plain and simple. Check out the videos to see how easy it is and if you can work that way. Pick a technique, any technique, watch it three to five times, then, if you can, train it Tai Chi, slow movement style before a mirror or reflective surface. Once you can execute the movements safely and correctly with your eyes closed, speed up the 72 Fist Routine to about three/quarter street defence speed, NOT QUICKER. Record yourself and send in the recording with a payment of US$25. You will receive feedback and if the feedback is 75% or better, you can start practicing the Fist for real defence. If you fail, I will tell you why and and where you have two more shots without cost. If you pass, I will tell you how well. 60%<74% is pass but needs practice. 70%<89% is very good. 90%> is Black Sash level and this Fist Routine will credit toward one of the five techniques required for Black Sash.

But consider! Just because you pay for the grading, you are not guaranteed a pass. Over 50% of first grading's failed and sometimes miserably thinking that this was a certificate for money deal. Give me a $1000 and I will still not accredit you at even the basest Shaolin Kung Fu Level. Reputation is worth more than money, at least to me. Remember, one payment, thee tries which also means that you can pass then try and improve your result.

I am Ready for Grading Full or Progressive

So, are you ready? Let us know by Email. Each Item, if graded individually, is $25. A whole level excluding the Style Routine is $249. Payment by PayPal or Direct EFT. WE suggest you grade just one item first and see how you go. Perhaps the Natural Stance would be best and easiest!
