building internal force for mental clarity and peak performance
Generations of kung fu masters credit their longevity to internal force, but it’s useful for so many things beyond just self-defense and sparring. Learn a selection of deceptively simple, yet incredibly powerful exercises for developing internal force. Experience the pristine calm and clarity of a one-pointed mind and the profound relaxation and joy that results.
Learn how internal force not only gives you abundant energy and martial power, but also builds mental clarity so that you can be calm, insightful, and joyful every single day. Gain skills that also help you grow personally and professionally.
*Open to all Shaolin Wahnam students. Must be able to generate an energy flow to attend.
one finger shooting zen: the treasure of Shaolin
part i
One Finger Shooting Zen is the pinnacle of force training in Shaolin Kung Fu. Using hand forms and co-ordinated breathing, students learn to channel their energy for expressing powerful strikes and grips.
​
But One Finger Shooting Zen also trains mind and Shen (or spirit, in Chinese) and is used to attain a deep spiritual state where one can experience complete serenity and unity with the cosmos. Power and bliss all in one skill. Not too shabby!
​
Please note students who are signed up for Shaolin Kungfu Level One will learn One Finger Shooting Zen in class but may elect to take this seminar to advance their skill.
