Training at Shaolin Yongzhi changed how I move, how I breathe, and how I handle pressure. I came as a complete beginner and left with a foundation I still build on every day.

The Academy
Shaolin
Yongzhi

This is not a tourist programme. Shaolin Yongzhi Traditional Martial Arts Academy is a working school where Chinese students train full-time, year-round — just minutes from the Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng.

Authentic Shaolin lineage — not a performance school
Mountain setting, minutes from the Shaolin Temple
Small group experience — quality over numbers
Organised by Shaolin Worldwide in collaboration with Shaolin Yongzhi Academy
Who This Is For
You don't need to be
a martial artist.

Open to all levels. What matters most is the willingness to train, rest, and be present.

You've always wanted to train at a real Shaolin academy in China — and you're ready to make it happen in 2027.
You're a beginner looking for a structured, immersive introduction to Kung Fu and Qi Gong.
You're a martial artist or mover wanting to deepen strength, coordination, and internal discipline under lineage masters.
You want a meaningful trip — physical training, cultural experience, and genuine time away from daily life.

Spaces are limited — the $500 deposit is non-refundable and secured only once payment is received.
