Whether you're looking to build real self-defense skills, get fit, boost your confidence, or find focus — we're built around you. Every student gets a personalized experience that no group class can match.


Our one-on-one format means your instructor adapts to your pace, your strengths, and your goals. You'll never get lost in a crowd, never wait your turn, and never leave a class feeling like you didn't get enough attention. Students consistently tell us they achieve more in their first month here than in years at other schools.

More Than Martial Arts.
A Way of Life.

"Through your determination and desire to conquer yourself, you will one day understand the beauty and wisdom of the Shaolin method. As years go by, you will overcome many doubts and shortcomings within yourself — which will give you uncommon strength of mind and body. Conquering others becomes effortless and meaningless. Conquering yourself, however, becomes a formidable task worthy of a virtuous person."

— Grand Master R. Terlecki, Founder
I

Ancient Roots. Modern Evolution.

Our foundation is the Shaolin method — one of the most complete and effective martial arts systems ever developed. But we are more than tradition. Over decades of real-world teaching, the principles of Shaolin have been refined and adapted to meet the practical demands of modern life. The roots run deep. The application is alive.

II

Mind, Body & Spirit

Physical training is only part of the journey. The Shaolin method balances rigorous physical practice with mental discipline and spiritual awareness — creating a complete transformation of the person, not just the fighter.

III

Conquer Yourself

The rigorous training of the Temple was used to overcome fears and doubts, eliminate aggression, and achieve a perfect balance between mind and body. True mastery is not about defeating others — it is about mastering yourself.

IV

Honour & Compassion

A serious practitioner of the Shaolin method must serve as a role model in their community. A teacher of this art must embody honour, loyalty, kindness, and compassion — qualities essential to any follower of the ancient Shaolin tradition.

V

Wisdom Through Training

Through your failures and accomplishments, you seek the truth within yourself. The training is not a destination — it is a lifelong pursuit of skill, self-confidence, wisdom, and enlightenment. As you grow, you realize you have only just begun.

VI

Courage When It Counts

While the goal is peace, understanding, and compassion — you must also know that in a moment of danger, you will have the skill and courage to defend the truth. Real self-defense is not aggression. It is readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

In a group class of 30 students, each person receives roughly 2 minutes of instructor attention. At the Academy, every student gets a full 60-minute private session with the instructor each week — plus access to group classes. This makes one year here equivalent to five years at a typical martial arts school.
Despite offering premium one-on-one instruction, our pricing is competitive with group-class schools in the Vancouver area. There are no testing fees, no belt or rank charges, and no hidden costs for uniforms, equipment, or videos. Call (604) 596-8353 for current pricing details.
Children's classes are available starting at age 6. Classes run Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00–7:00 PM. Our children's program builds discipline, confidence, physical fitness, and real self-defense skills in a safe and encouraging environment.
No prior experience is required. Because of our one-on-one format, every student progresses at their own pace. Whether you're a complete beginner or have trained elsewhere, the Academy's method is designed to meet you where you are and accelerate your learning.
We teach Moh Kempo — an exclusive blend of Honan and Fukien Shaolin methods rooted in the Temple style of Kung Fu.

Training includes kicks, blocks, punches, forms, weapons, meditation, Qui Gong, ground fighting, and sparring.
