The Shaolin Wushu Ch'an workshop is a unique opportunity to take a deep dive into authentic Shaolin practices.
The soul of Shaolin Kung Fu is the ideal of 'purifying the mind and awakening to one's own nature'. Wushu Ch'an (as a concept) goes beyond verbal understanding. However, as long as you strive to "purify the mind and awaken to your own nature" and practice step by step, you will understand the true meaning of Wushu Ch'an. In other words, the goal of Shaolin Kung Fu is the aforementioned 'purification', only when you reach this state will you become aware of the meaning of Wushu Ch'an.
Join us for an amazing weekend workshop "Shaolin Wushu Ch'an". You will experience the practices of real Shaolin Monks from the Shaolin Monastery. You will witness and participate in mental, physical and spiritual training according to traditional methods practised for over 1500 years in Shaolin Monastery.
This is possible thanks to Shaolin Temple Poland, the official representative of the Shaolin Monastery in Poland. At the invitation of Shaolin Monastery Poland, the Grand Master, Shifu Shi Yanliang, will visit us in our country. Grand Master Yanliang is an authentic Shaolin Monastery monk who is its main representative in Europe. Master Yanliang is also the head of the Shaolin Europe Association - the official body for Shaolin Kung Fu schools in Europe.

It will introduce you to the daily practice carried out by the monks in the Shaolin Monastery. You will learn how they meditate and the importance of following the principles of Buddhism in their daily life, and why Buddhism, meditation and kung fu form an inseparable whole.
Shaolin Kung Fu, also known as Shaolin Quan (, Shàolínquán), is an extraordinary combination of chán (Buddhism) and wǔ (martial arts) philosophy that shapes the body, mind and spirit. It originated in the Shaolin temple in Henan province, China, and has inspired people around the world for more than 1,500 years. A Chinese proverb states: "All martial arts under heaven originate from Shaolin," which captures the profound influence of this school on the development of martial arts.
Shaolin Kung Fu is not only a martial training, but above all a school of life. The Shaolin Way teaches not only masterful techniques, but also values such as attentiveness, kindness, courage, integrity and loyalty. Through these practices, the adept not only strengthens the body, but also develops mental clarity, fortitude and problem-solving skills. Shaolin Kung Fu shapes character, helping one to become a better person every day.
When you begin Shaolin Kung Fu training, you embark on a journey towards self-discipline, healthy habits and a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. It is more than a martial art - it is a path of personal development that enriches lives.
