• Welcome to Shaolin Temple USA •
San Francisco • Fremont, CA

Shaolin Temple USA is the first North America branch organization of the world famous Songshan Shaolin Temple in Henan Province of China, the original Shaolin Temple established in 495 AD.

Under the direction of Master Shi YanRan—34th generation Shaolin Temple Buddhist Monk, a team of Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Monks is now station at Shaolin Temple USA to carry on the 1,500-year old traditions and training disciplines of Shaolin Temple. Their mission is to share Shaolin culture with the American people. Shaolin Temple USA teaches Shaolin Chan (Zen) Philosophy through the core Shaolin disciplines of martial arts or action meditation: Kung Fu (Gongfu) and Chi Kung (Qigong). 

Students of all backgrounds, faiths, ages and athletic ability are welcome to train at Shaolin Temple USA.

Students come to Shaolin Temple USA to learn and grow from traditional Shaolin training and culture. “Heart to Heart” and “Mind to Mind” is the essence of Shaolin Ch’an Philosophy — and this system of training spans the differences between language and culture as a direct form of growth and understanding. Students find many paths to get to the Temple, while some students seek to build better health and create a feeling of well-being, others may train for self-defense or flexibility, but there is a singular concept behind Shaolin training: martial arts and Chan Philosophy are one and the same.

Classes available:

Shaolin Kung Fu:

• Traditional Shaolin fist forms such as Luohan Quan, Qixing Quan, Hong Quan
• Animal forms such as tiger, eagle, monkey, praying mantis
• Shaolin drunken staff, drunken sword, drunken fist
• Exclusive Shaolin styles: 2-fingered Chan, Tongzi Gong; free form sparring
• Weapon forms - the famous 18 Shaolin weapons: straight sword, broadsword, spear, staff, whip, hooks and many more
• Shaolin Wellness classics: Baduangjin (8 Golden Movements), Yijinjing (Change of Sinews), Xisuijing (Bone Marrow Cleansing)
• Qigong
