More than 1500 years ago in China the Shao-lin monks were embarked on a lifelong journey toward enlightenment. In their quest for self-development and self-growth, they recognized that body, mind and spirit were inseparable. With this understanding they developed a three pillar approach to training. Martial arts and Qigong developed the body, meditation cleared the mind, and spiritual inquiry answered the deep questions of the soul.

At Dragon and Crane we adhere to this traditional three pillar approach and teach authentic lineage Shao-lin Kung Fu styles – including Tan Tui, Mei Jong, and Lohan Animals. Shuai Chiao and Kenpo, two other systems of Kung Fu are also taught. Shao-lin Kung Fu is the most comprehensive of all martial arts. Often referred to as the “grandfather” of Asian martial arts, Shao-lin has influenced the development of much later arts such as Japanese karate and Korean tae kwon do.

In the tradition of the Shao-lin monks, we look at martial arts mastery as a lifelong process and aim to help you build a strong foundation for optimal progress.  As an adjunct to Kung Fu we teach Qigong, breathing methods, physical and mental conditioning, sparring, weaponry, and self-defense applications. Meditation classes and spiritual inquiry round out the three pillar approach.
