Train with Shifu Shi Yanjun

Shifu Shi Yanjun is a 34th-generation Shaolin warrior monk, trained within the legendary Shaolin Temple tradition in China.
From a young age, he dedicated his life to martial discipline, internal cultivation, and the transmission of authentic Shaolin teachings.

What Makes Him Unique

What distinguishes Shifu Shi Yanjun is not only technical mastery, but his ability to transmit the spirit and philosophy behind the movements.
Under his guidance, practice becomes more than physical training—it becomes a path of discipline, presence, and transformation.

For many practitioners, training with a Shaolin master is not simply
a lesson—it is an encounter with a living lineage.
