Shaolin Kung Fu Beginner

An introduction to Traditional

Shaolin Buddhist Kung Fu

Shaolin Kung Fu

Northern Shaolin Kung Fu is the original martial art (and its evolutions) from the Buddhist temple located on Song Mountain.  Because this temple was nicknamed, “Shaolin,” (which means “Young Forest”), the martial art that developed there became known as “Shaolin” style martial art.  

Bodhidharma is the founder of this Shaolin Kung Fu about 600 A.D.  He retired at this Shaolin Temple and became also the founder of Zen Buddhism.  In China it is still referred to as “Chan Buddhism” since the word, “Zen,” is the Japanese word for “Chan.”

Born Richard Del Connor February 4, 1954, Buddha Zhen graduated the Tai Mantis Federation in 1984 and was certified as a Chinese Jing Mo school by Grandmaster Wong Jack Man in 1994.

This professional software for internet schools is wonderful for Shaolin Chi Mantis as it requires attendance and passing of a quiz in order to gain access to the next video.  

It is hoped that each student will participate enthusiastically with the video lessons featuring the founder of Shaolin Chi Mantis, Buddha Zhen Shen-Lang “Spirit Wolf of Truth” (Richard Del Connor).

Each class includes a bookwork section in which students would each read one paragraph then discuss it.  Developing the mind is equally as important as developing the body.

The QUIZ can be retaken several times if not passed.  Learn to be a good student.
