What is Shao-Lin Kung Fu?

     Shao-Lin Kung Fu is the most complete and effective form of self-defense practiced in the world today. This powerful art that teaches punching, kicking, throwing, and grappling (joint locking and pressure points) was developed in the Shao-Lin Temple which was built in Northern China in 495 A.D. For over fifteen hundred years Shao-Lin Kung Fu grew through the temples into the most complete martial arts system in China and the rest of the world. The fighting skills were always considered a means of self defense, only to be used as a last resort.
