At our Shaolin Self Defense Center, we are focused on teaching Shaolin as a safe way to defend yourself. We explain that students should only use the physical aspects of Martial Arts in a dojo or when facing bodily harm. On our blue mats, we focus on the physical movements, but we also build strength in body and mind by focusing on five core values:
Respect
Respect yourself and others. Treat other people how you would like to be treated.
Self-Discipline
Understand and act on what is right in a way that is unaffected by your situation. Take appropriate action without being told what to do.
Effort
Give your best to yourself and your practice, physically and mentally.
Integrity
Maintain honest standards for yourself and others.
Self Control
Regulate your behavior in the present situation.
We have a well-rounded curriculum for effective and safe practice for anyone interested in learning Shaolin. Our Sanseis are constantly expanding their knowledge of Martial Arts by learning how different forms and movements affect the body in different ways.
Sansei Bill has been practicing for 30 years. He is a sixth-degree black belt and a Doctor of Chiropractic. This extensive knowledge of the human form helps his understanding and use of Shaolin. Sansei Bill is continuously attending seminars and reading new books in his drive to understand Shaolin in new ways and to pass this knowledge on to others.
