What is martial art Shaolin Kung-Fu
Shaolin kung-fu is a martial art that hides great power. However, to break through and master Shaolin kung-fu fighting techniques requires a strong will, building good physical fitness and awareness of one’s life path. I will be glad to accompany you on this journey and pass on the important techniques and methods of Shaolin kung-fu that were passed down to me from my Master Zhai Hongyin, so that you too can learn this unique martial art.
What is Chinese close combat
Chinese close combat is a method of a fight body to body, where we try to use various combinations of grappling techniques, throws, trips and deflections to get the opponent to the ground. Chinese close combat is part of Shaolin kung fu skills. The techniques of Chinese close combat later evolved into Japanese judo martial art.

The content of each lesson is divided into two parts. The first is the teaching of the basic skills of Shaolin Kung-Fu, which are necessary for practising the more complex elements. The second part is devoted to Shaolin kung-fu techniques and martial applications. The course is suitable for both beginners and advanced, regardless of current physical fitness.

Where and how we practice martial art Shaolin kung-fu
Shaolin kung-fu classes are primarily held outdoors on a grassy area in the grounds of the Opatov gymnasium. In case of bad weather in autumn and winter, the courses are moved to the gymnasium of the Opatov gymnasium (Metro C – Opatov, 5 min. walk)
I also recommend taking the courses of Qigong and Taiji Bagua Palm of eight trigrams, which follow Shaolin kung-fu lessons, to increase the energy in your body and deepen your kung-fu cultivation.
