Lung Ying Kung Fu

The Art of the Heart

Kung Fu in its original context, the word “Fu” means “that which comes from the heart.” Another analogy for the words “Kung Fu” is “to stop fighting. Shaolin Kung Fu is rooted in Buddhist and Taoist temple traditions. We do not train for aggression; we train to eliminate it. By learning to protect others rather than ourselves, we remove violence from the equation and focus on the internal journey.

A Path of Personal Development

Lung Ying Dragon Sign Kung Fu comprises explosive movements and requires significant hand and leg conditioning. Because this practice is purely for a student’s own personal growth, there are no belts and we do not compete.

Our environment is strictly non-competitive and traditional. We focus on the purity of the art, ensuring the 2,000-year-old teachings are passed down unchanged from teacher to student.

Over 2,000 Years of Tradition

The teachings offered at the Slane Temple have been passed down through generations of monks and family trees. Developed by Buddhist and Taoist practitioners, these movements were designed to study the relationship between the earthly and the celestial, promoting health of body and acceptance of the heart.
