Traditional Shaolin Training
Taizu Chang Quan, or Emperor's Long Fist (太祖长拳), is an old Shaolin form that is the origin of many of China's most famous martial arts styles. The creation of this routine is attributed to Emperor Taizu (927-976 AD), founder of the Song dynasty and a distinguished military general.
​
From June 15th to July 21st, Master Wang (Buddhist name Shi Xing Long) will be teaching this form online via Zoom. This is a unique style of Shaolin Kung Fu that contains a wealth of Kung Fu theory, Shenfa (body mechanics) and martial applications. Classes will teach in a detail-oriented manner, ensuring students understand how to use the form as a framework for developing skill.
​
Classes will be at a low to moderate level of physical intensity. Whilst we welcome students of all levels of experience, we suggest that those with no Kung Fu experience follow the first few classes of our free Shaolin Online School before starting the course to get the hang of the basics.
A class timetable for the course can be found below. All classes are one hour long. Please note that you may need to convert these times into your current timezone depending on your country.
