Portland Shaolin Center

Introduction: Classes at the Portland Shaolin Center introduce people of all experience levels to the basics of the 1500-year-old martial art Shaolin Kung Fu (Shaolin Gongfu). The training includes physical conditioning, internal and external styles, animal styles, empty-hand and weapons forms, meditation, sparring, Ch'i Kung, and T'ai Ch'i Ch'uan. We emphasize a technique-based, pragmatic approach to studying the full curriculum of traditional Chinese martial arts.
