Over the course of time, an untold amount of martial knowledge was housed at the Shaolin temples. In order to better systematize this material, the techniques, motions and fighting applications of major systems were housed within eighteen forms; medium sized systems were housed within twelve forms; and smaller systems were housed within six or fewer forms. 

The Shaolin system as taught today is comprised of more than fifty styles and nine hundred forms. From this enormous body of material, today's Shaolin Do practitioners receive a broad-based martial education that covers the entire spectrum of martial arts philosophy and technique. The Shaolin Do curriculum teaches its practitioners sound fundamentals and provides each practitioner with the appropriate mental and physical challenge for their level of training. 

Shaolin Do is a traditional martial art providing its practitioners with time-proven self defense techniques. Shaolin Do strengthens the body and sharpens the mind, leading to a longer, more productive, and healthier life. Shaolin Do is the most complete and comprehensive martial arts system in the world. 



"If your primary interest is tournament skills, I advise you to seek your training elsewhere! Most of what you will learn here is too lethal for tournament use. I teach the ancient system of Shaolin Do, 'Art of survival, not of sport.' 

As did the immortals, we should learn to destroy so that we may preserve! It is a way of truth. The knowledge that I offer you is not an athletic training; it is a sacred trust."
