The Shaolin Foundation Path
12 weeks of grounded learning in the Shaolin arts — with self-study, live guidance and a practice you take with you.
Course starts: November 23, 2026
Online Academy
Your foundation in the Shaolin arts
The Foundation Path is Level 1 of our Online Academy and gives you a grounded entry into the Shaolin arts — from Kung Fu and Qi Gong to Sanda, meditation and Chan.
Over 12 weeks you build your own practice step by step and develop a solid foundation for body and mind.
Afterwards you are free to keep practising what you have learned on your own — or to continue your path in the further levels of our Academy.
What you build in 12 weeks
You get to know the Shaolin arts as a holistic path — and develop a practice that fits you.
Kung Fu
Mental strength, traditional forms, applications & more.
Qi Gong
Get energy flowing, health and inner calm.
Sanda
Conditioning, strength, techniques and application.
Meditation & Chan
Stillness, attention and the mental side of Shaolin practice.
How it works
A clear learning structure you can flexibly integrate into everyday life — with personal guidance and a group that supports you.
Live guidance
In the live sessions we practise together, deepen the content and answer your questions.
Group & exchange
Via WhatsApp you stay connected with the group. Prompts and challenges accompany you through the 12 weeks.
Live
Online live is part of the path
The Foundation Path is not a pure video course. Live elements connect structure with real guidance — so you don’t just watch the arts, but truly practise and understand them.
- 5 live sessions (kick-off, classes & Q&A)
- Feedback and questions
- Recordings for every session
- WhatsApp group for everyday practice in between
Live dates
The live sessions take place on the following dates from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.:
- Mon 23 November (Kick-Off)
- Mon 14 December
- Mon 4 January (Q&A)
- Mon 18 January
- Mon 8 February
Recordings will be available each time if you cannot attend.
One foundation, many possibilities

Who the Foundation Path is for
You don’t need prior knowledge, and you don’t have to be especially fit or flexible. What matters is curiosity, openness and the joy of getting to know the Shaolin arts step by step.
The Foundation Path is a good fit if you …
- want to learn the Shaolin arts from the ground up.
- want to discover Kung Fu, Qi Gong, Sanda and meditation as a connected practice.
- want to develop strength, flexibility, focus and inner calm.
- want to train flexibly at home while benefiting from a clear structure.
- want to learn the Shaolin arts in depth or deepen your existing martial arts practice
The Foundation Path is less of a fit if you …
- only want to learn Shaolin Kung Fu superficially
- expect progress without regular practice
- are only interested in fighting, not in inner development
- are looking for a pure fitness course
Still unsure?
Free practice lesson

Frequently asked questions
No. The course is structured so you can start without prior knowledge. Movements are explained and demonstrated step by step. If you already train, you can use the material to refine fundamentals and go deeper into the details.
No. You should be willing to practise regularly and treat your body with care. Everyone trains at their own pace and intensity.
The Foundation Path is designed to fit well into a normal everyday routine. The self-study modules form the main part. Ideally, you work through the matching module each week. You can plan on about 60 minutes for this. That way, you deepen the content step by step and can practice the exercises independently. In addition, you receive a training plan from which you can choose based on your preferences and available time. Our recommendation is about two training sessions per week. You can also do less when you have little time — or more if you want to go deeper. The Foundation Path is complemented by live guidance: an online kick-off, three live classes, and a Q&A session. There are also small prompts, opportunities for exchange, and occasional challenges to help you stay on track. If you have less time at some point, that is not a problem. You can catch up on modules at any time and go through the Foundation Path at your own pace. Your access to all content remains unlimited.
The live sessions take place on the following dates from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.: Mon 23 November (Kick-Off) Mon 14 December Mon 4 January (Q&A) Mon 18 January Mon 8 February Each live session is recorded and will be available throughout the full 12 weeks: if you cannot attend live, that is not a problem. You also have access to the WhatsApp group at any time for questions.
You can catch up on the content and work through it at your own pace, since the self-study modules remain available to you indefinitely. The shared weekly rhythm helps you stay consistent, but the course is not meant to add extra pressure.
All self-study modules and PDFs remain available to you without limit. You can continue learning and revisiting at your own pace even after the 12 weeks. Here you will find everything you need to practise and deepen your training. Recordings of the live Zoom sessions remain available to you until the end of the 12-week course period.
Yes. This course gives you everything you need for a solid entry. Afterwards you can continue with follow-on courses and/or our weekly live online training.
It's very important to us that you're happy with your learning path. If the course isn't right for you, let us know within 14 days of the course start and we'll refund the full course price.
