Our school :
In 2018, Wudang Shaolin Dream opened its own Chinese martial arts school directly in Shaolin a hundred meters from the Shaolin Temple in Shaolin village in the mountains away from the tourist area.
This allows everyone to enjoy the setting, the traditional aspect of Shaolin, calm … without having to face the tourist side that represents the temple of Shaolin. So we can take advantage of the good Shaolin combined with the good of being a school by offering many courses.
By this means, we propose all new types of training that is traditional, competitions-oriented … or new training methods that combine Western science / education with Chinese tradition / expertise.

History :
Shaolin is considered as the birthplace of Chinese Martial Arts.
The Shaolin Temple was built around 495 by Emperor Xiao Wen under the Dynasty Wei (4th to 6th century) in honor of the monk Tuo bao.
It is only thirty years later that the Indian monk Bodhidharma (damo 達摩) came to the temple to preach the teaching of Buddhism chan, he also taught them various martial exercises to enable them to strengthen their bodies and To defend themselves against animals and looters.
Over the years, this has resulted in an effective and complete combat art.
