Shaolin Shen-Ku-Te (Hand of the Mysterious or Phantom Traveler/Visitor) dates back to around 520 a.d. it is a rare, high-level martial art, which was developed by many monks including those who practiced in the Shaolin Monasteries of China. It is a complete program for health, self-defense, mental clarity, character development, and spiritual fulfillment. It has a history of over 1500 years, and has developed into various styles of martial arts over the centuries. Many people consider the Shaolin Temple to be the birthplace of most systematized martial arts.
Shaolin masters and disciples gratefully honor Bodhidharma (Da Mo/Ta Mo) as the First Patriarch of Shaolin. Before Bodhidharma, there was no kung fu or chi kung (Qi Gong) at the Shaolin Temples/ Monasteries. Bodhidharma taught various methods of physical and energy arts at the Shaolin Monastery during the 6th Century CE. These sets are still taught in our school today.
Forget everything you think you know about the martial arts. This art is different. You’ll finish class energized, exercised and at peace with yourself.
