The origin of Kung Fu begins with the legend of a warrior caste Indian monk named Bodhidharma (also known as Ta Mo) who traveled from India to China around 526 A.D. It is said that he visited Shaolin monks in the Hunan Province. While there, Bodhidharma awed the resident Chinese monks with his mastery of meditation.
The secret was in breath control, building and storing Chi energy and physical discipline which Bodhidharma saw lacking in the monks. He trained them in exercises designed to strengthen the body and their endurance. This series of exercises the monks used evolved into Kung Fu. We teach the system of traditional Northern Shaolin Lohan Kung Fu, Tai Chi Chuan, Qigong Healing, and 18 Lohan Qigong.

It is the science of chi energy in its ultimate form where the practitioner develops the ability to build, store and move chi energy, at will, within and even outside the body.
