Why practice Shaolin KungFu or QiGong?
Shaolin Kung Fu originated as exercises to complement the investigation of one’s mind through Zen meditation practice. It was originally taught to Buddhist monks at Shaolin Temple in Henan, China 1,500 years ago. Shaolin Kung Fu and Qi Gong are relatively simple to learn, and one begins to feel their subtle yet profound benefits after only a few months of practice.
