 Shao-Lin
(Shaolin) Kung-Fu (Gong Fu) is a 1500 year old
Chinese martial art developed by the monks in Honan Province for
health, mental and physical conditioning, and self-defense. The
system encompasses empty hand, weapon, and animal styles. Internal
areas include Tai Chi, Pa Kua, Hsing-I, and ancient breathing
& meditation.

GRANDMASTER
WEEKEND A HUGE SUCCESS!
The
Grandmaster of Shao-Lin taught the
Hsing-I Straight Sword this past weekend and I
think that many people would agree that it just may have
been the highlight of their Shao-Lin careers! The explosiveness
that Grandmaster Sin Kwang The' showed can not be described
in words - you had to have been there! What a weekend,
what a form, and what an experience!
All
at the Albuquerque Chinese Shao-Lin Center would like
to thank him and Elder Masters Sharon and David for this
memorable time!
Congratulations
to Albuquerque disciples Matthew
Villegas and Jamie Van Riper
who tested with over 40 other students into 2nd Degree
