The world did not start out with “roads”; when enough people had stepped on the same soil, “paths” began to emerge. The first few to step on virgin soil would naturally have to be faced with thorns, obstacles, dangers, and frustrations; but yet, there has never been a shortage of explorers and pioneers who would plow ahead fearlessly to open up new paths. By the same token, the development of the Chinese martial arts field also needs explorers, pioneers, and entrepreneurs.
Shaolin Kung Fu International was founded in 2003 by Master Ben Zhang who is a 32nd generation warrior monk from the world-famous Shaolin Temple in China. With a clear mission and a diverse curriculum, the world-class staff at Shaolin Kung Fu International delivers quality of training that is unmatched by its peers. In just seven years, it has become widely recognized and well-respected, with several studios across the Bay area.
Shaolin is where Chinese Kung Fu originated; it is an integral part of Chinese martial arts. The Shaolin order dates back to about 540 A.D. and was founded by Grand Master Tamo who has been honored as the “Patriarch of Chinese Martial Arts”. After 1500 years of continuous improvement, Shaolin Kung Fu has become an exotic and renowned style of Chinese martial arts with profound culture. It is a very popular sport that promotes both physical and mental fitness as well as self-defense.
Shaolin Kung Fu International’s mission is to bring health and fitness to the world by introducing Shaolin Kung Fu to every family. Both children (age 4 and up) and adult classes are offered. With its diverse curriculum and high quality training, Shaolin Kung Fu International can help its students reap the benefits of martial arts training whether they choose to pursue a competitive track or just train for physical and mental fitness or self-defense. All instructors are top athletes from China who have undergone years of training and have competed and excelled in numerous national and international tournaments. They are very experienced trainers who could tailor the training to each individual student based on his or her needs and capability.
Shaolin Kung Fu International actively contributes to the local society by participating in charitable and educational performances. It also frequently organizes performances and cultural exchange functions with various cultural and athletic organizations from China.
After seven years of exploration and hard work, Shaolin Kung Fu International has established a rock solid foundation. The “path” for popularizing Chinese martial arts will surely become a wide “road”, and Shaolin Kung Fu International will definitely be one of the scenic attractions along this trip. Looking forward to meeting you at Shaolin Kung Fu International!
