Master Lai’s Message to Direct Black Belts

| 10/10/2019
Dear Direct Black belts, There is simply no way for me to set the HQ BB afternoons to suit every single direct black belt of mine, and even less so for all the NPC black belts.  I had no intention of seeking to do this. The second Saturday afternoon of each month has been picked

A NOTE ON PRIVATE LESSONS and TEACHING NPC PRIVATELY

| 02/05/2019
Sifu Lai , the Founder and Head of the Nampaichuan System does not teach private lessons in mainstream NPC except in very exceptional circumstances. In Sifu’s view mainstream NPC is almost always best transmitted in general classes where students have an opportunity to train with a variety of other students of varying ages, sizes and

All of us exist in a corporeal world, and it is understandable that our primary focus in anything we  do, has to do with the organic body and how it feels and reacts. We feed this body, and we nurture (and sometimes spoil) it by giving in to its demands. There are of course, demands

When a lay person approaches the study of a “Martial Art” there may be many questions and “unknowingness” in his or her mind. Why should this concern you, as a Teacher (or black or senior  belt) who he/she approaches ? It must matter – because it will have been many years ago when you were

Welcome to our Shaolin Tradition. There is no mystery about Chinese Kungfu. It is (and it means) a great deal of commitment and hard work both mentally and physically. “Hard work” has never done anyone any harm and should not daunt those willing to make the journey. We all work hard, in one way or

Dear Students, Learning involves thinking. It seems obvious I know but so many go to Martial Arts classes with closed minds and ears and expect to learn a high art, If they are fortunate they will go back with fatigued muscles and an unbalanced idea of what they managed to “learn” besides how to make

We are one of the largest and most respected Shaolin Kung Fu schools in the world.

Our style originates from the Shaolin temples in northern and southern China, and is taught at centres around the world.

We employ traditional training methods which have been used for centuries to teach Kung Fu to Shaolin monks, alongside more modern methods to help our students learn self-defence techniques and improve their fitness.
