Bulgaria Retreat · September 2026
Limited Participants!
Most people train techniques. A few follow a path that transforms them.
In the mountains of Bulgaria, Shifu Shi Yanjun shares the living tradition of the Chinese martial fan—combining the flowing wisdom of Taiji Fan with the precision and power of Shaolin Kung Fu Fan.
This is more than training. It is an experience designed to awaken the balance of Yin and Yang in your movement, mind, and presence.
Across several days of focused practice, you will explore the qualities
that create complete martial development.
Flow and structure
Some trainings teach techniques. Others transmit lineage.
This immersion is rare because Shifu Shi Yanjun travels specifically to guide this experience, offering direct instruction in both Taiji Fan and Shaolin Kung Fu Fan—two complementary arts reflecting Yin and Yang.
Opportunities to study both disciplines together under authentic guidance are uncommon.
