1. Shaolin Kung Fu Shaolin Kung Fu has been widely practiced and studied for many centuries. It is an undeniable unique and extremely traditional style of Wushu (Martial Arts), and serves to both enhance health / fitness and fulfill performance purposes. Lamka Shaolin Disciples' Union is pleased to present what we believe is our ideal training plan, after 20+ years of training and experience.

Basic Training Has Been Classified into Four Stages: Basics generally refer to the very essence of Wushu studies; every part of the body is challenged and forced to its maximum capabilities. Basics include: handwork and legwork, footwork, bodywork and eye work, complimented by kicking, striking, throwing, seizing, and stabbing, smoothly integrated as series or forms.

Form Studies Are Classified Into 16 Stages: I believe in the concept of building a strong basic foundation for my students before advancing to more difficult techniques. Although training may be difficult or challenging to students, the key to success is perseverance. Your mindset determines your potential.

I teach a variety of forms including open hand, weapons, sparring and animal imitations. As students improve on their technique and master each level, they will learn increasingly challenging hand and weapon forms.
