The Shaolin Kung Fu Monks

15.04.2026

The mysterious Shaolin Zen Monastery in the heart of China has been the spiritual center of Zen Buddhism and the training center for monks to master Kung Fu for more than 1,500 years. A holy place for millions of devout Buddhists, and the center of energy for those interested in martial arts.
For hundreds of years, interested students have been coming to the monastery since childhood to find their master and be initiated into the secrets of traditional combat exercises. Anyone who finds their master has the chance to achieve spiritual maturity and physical strength, which will enable them to master their Qi (life energy).
But the path to becoming a Shaolin master is difficult and long: years of practice, endurance and deprivation are required; a life according to the strict rules of Damo, the mysterious monastery founder, is a prerequisite.
