Protect The Heart School of Shaolin Wushu

Wushu, translated literally, means martial (“wu”) arts (“shu”). When it was first developed, its primary purpose was (and will always be) for survival. Hunting animals, procuring food, fighting against aggressive wildlife, surviving harsh weather conditions, and so forth prompted the birth of this mode of behavior. Alone, wu is just fighting, military-based attack. Combined with “shu,” it transcends one level and becomes an intricate, purposeful skill.
Nowadays, one associates the word “kung-fu” with punches, kicks, martial arts champions, and fighting. But the original meaning of “kung-fu” was never intended to describe martial arts in any way. Kung-fu originally referred to the time and energy spent in learning something. A successful chef expends lots of “kung-fu” to cook the tastiest dishes. A doctor undergoes considerable “kung-fu” to be able to take care of sick people. A martial artist uses lots of “kung-fu” in practicing his physical forms so he may display them to audiences one day.

Shaolin Kung Fu is a health and well being exercise developed to extend life, protect and improve health using martial art techniques and strategies for life promotion.

The national heritage WUSHU includes the realization of nature of YIN and YANG, the teaching on the concord of “hardness” and
“softness”, the doctrine of victory over an enemy and education of people. Everything must be verified in practice, otherwise a moment will come when “hardness” driven to the utmost limit will break and “softness” will lose its base for development.
