Shaolin Kung Fu with Lhamo

Shaolin is one of the oldest and most important Chinese wushu or kung fu; in fact in popular folklore it is said that all martial arts under heaven originated from Shaolin. This wushu style originated in the Buddhist culture of the Shaolin Temple in Mt. Songshan, Henan Province. Its essence lies in the combination of kung fu and Ch’an buddhist ideology, in which manner the monks not only learn the kung fu skills, but also cultivate themselves by grasping the buddhist ideology. Furthermore, this martial arts have been well-known due to the functions of self-defence, body-building and athletics. Lhamo’s teaching style is entirely based on traditional teaching methods, with special emphasis on basic skills.
