Why Shaolin Chan Arts?
With Shi Yong Dao, you learn from people who live the Shaolin path themselves – rooted in tradition and made for today.
Authentic Shaolin tradition
Traditionally rooted, shaped by regular journeys to Shaolin and a living connection to the Shaolin lineage.
A holistic path of practice
Kung Fu, Qi Gong, Taijiquan, meditation and Chan as one connected path – body and mind grow together holistically.
Chan at the centre
Meditation not only as an exercise, but as lived presence – pragmatic and non-dogmatic, including in daily life.
Personal guidance
Shi Yong Dao guides you with more than 15 years of teaching experience – clear, human and attuned to your path.
Clear training structure
Structured progression instead of random videos – you always know where you stand and what comes next.
Community & exchange
You practise among like-minded people – with room for questions, integration and mutual inspiration.
Trust in what is
is the only prerequisite for what is yet to come.
