Come and join our “Kung Fu & Zen" 7-day retreat in the suburb of Beijing. We are an hour outside the city, but a world away!

Traditional Kung Fu / Ancient Chinese Philosophy / Insight Calligraphy / Zen Meditation

As we all know, taking care of our bodies is essential; and caring for our mental well-being is even more important in a modern world, with its trials, temptations and stress. However, many of us ignore looking after our hearts and minds. As a matter of fact, the long lineage of Shaolin masters was aware of the importance of both body and mind, that is why they brought up the philosophy of “Chan Wu” which means Kung Fu & Zen.

In our “kung fu & Zen” retreat program we place great emphasis on balance in life, health and mental strength. Health revitalization is so important in the day-to-day battle to counter the harmful effects of modern day stress. Our past retreats have shown that the exercises in our program are very helpful for those suffering from problems with their back, neck and shoulders that resulted from long hours in the office.

The academy has designed a series of exercises for health preservation and seminars to illuminate the ancient Chinese philosophy. Master Paul Wang and Master Xingxi’s program uniquely expresses the essence of “Chan Wu” with a focus on healing, based on their deep understanding of Zen Buddhism and many years of meditation practice and dedicated study of traditional kung fu.
