Chinese Shaolin Center for Traditional Martial Arts
The Chinese Shaolin Center of South Salt Lake is dedicated to keeping the traditional martial arts and disciplines of the Shaolin Temple. This centuries old art, it's exercises, and disciplines are suitable for practitioners of all fitness levels. Classes are structured for Adults although this center accepts students of all ages above 10yrs old. What you will learn here is the best and most traditional kung fu, tai chi and self-defense used by Shaolin monks for the last 1500 years.
Even though the Shaolin martial arts are lethal, self-defense is only a tiny portion of the art's many benefits. A few benefits of kung fu include increased stamina, endurance and lung capacity, increased bone density, a stronger memory, a stronger immune system, lower emotional stress and blood pressure, just to name a few. These benefits and more are easily acquired through "time and effort" or "Kung Fu." Shaolin Monks strived for longevity and sought immortality. In doing so, they pushed the limits of human potential. Many monks found themselves living healthy and able, still out performing the younger monks, even until the day they passed away! We strive to make class enjoyable, enriching and affordable for all. Have fun and stay fit and healthy at the same time.

Beginner Tai Chi Class
Our Beginner Tai Chi Class is an introduction to the Internal Arts and Meditation. Each Tai Chi class begins with meditation and the continuous chi kung postures. We then practice the 24 posture combined tai chi chuan. Afterwards we break into small groups and learn the fundamentals of this particular Tai Chi form including the fighting applications and push-hand training. Although Tai Chi is gentle enough for practitioners of any fitness level, the complexity and principles of the form can be a challenge for all athletes. There have been numerous studies on the benefits of Tai Chi and Meditation for all ages. Indeed you may find it essential for your health and longevity.
Beginner Kung Fu Class
Our beginner level kung fu class begins with brief meditation, followed by a rigorous warm-up including calisthenics, stretching and practice of basic punches and kicks. We then spar to pressure test and gain further understanding of the martial arts material. We then break into ranks and begin learning the techniques necessary to graduate to higher ranks. In the begin levels you will learn weapons training and routines, grappling and self-defense techniques, advanced sparring strategies and attack combinations and empty-hand/animal forms that teach a variety of complex fight techniques and strategies.
Wooden Man/Iron Bone Class
Our Wooden Man & Iron Bone Class begins with explosive Fa-Ching training, followed by iron bone conditioning designed to increase bone density through impact and vibration. We then break into groups based on level and drill techniques & forms directly on the wooden man followed by applications. This class is great toughen body and make the blocks stronger and improve your close quarters combat.
All beginner levels are learner paced! The training is exciting, fast-paced and fun!
