Kung Fu & Meditation
Shaolin kung fu
Shaolin Kungfu is one of the oldest, largest, and most famous styles in China. Developed in the Shaolin Temple in Henan province, more than 1500- year history. Based on the special combination of Chan philosophy and Buddhism background, training involves not only the training of one’ state of mind, but also one’s whole body, which covers the hands, eyes, body, footwork, and martial applications so that they will act as one, naturally and effortlessly.
Chan meditation
Chan from Sanskrit dhyana meaning "meditation" or "meditative state" is a Chinese school of Mahayana Buddhism. It developed in China from the 6th century CE onwards, becoming especially popular during the Tang and Song dynasties.
Meditation is a process of connecting the mind with the divine. The ancient art of meditation has been practiced for centuries and has helped numerous people attain enlightenment. The Shaolin meditation technique is not religious or ritualistic, but spiritual.
About Shifu Yan Tuo
Common name: Wang Lu, Buddhist name: Shi Yan Tuo a 34th generation Shaolin disciple. Native of Shandong province.
Shi Yan Tuo had been learning local traditional Kung Fu from his father since he was six years of age. In 1997, given a special opportunity, he was able to enter and train in Shaolin Temple.
In 2000, he formally entered the temple under his teacher, the abbot, Shi Yong Xin. Under both his master’s strict and compassionate guidance and his long hours of practice, he quickly mastered several traditional fist, weapon, and internal forms. Over the course of his training, he grasped the spirit of “Chan Wu He Yi” which embodies the need for both spiritual and physical training.
In 2008, the Shaolin Temple was given the privilege to go to Seoul, Korea’ s Shaolin’s Cultural Center to spread the teachings of Shaolin. In 2009, he was given the rare opportunity to begin teaching in Los Angles and Bay Area.
In 2014 he started his own school, Shaolin Temple of San Diego.
Now he is happy to teach in the beautiful Pacific North West -Redmond WA. He wishes to spread the spirit and essence of Shaolin Kung Fu.
