Grand Master Terlecki, founder of the SHAOLIN KUNG-FU ACADEMY, began his training of martial arts in 1971 under Grand Master O.E. Simon, a leading Canadian Grand Master of Moh (or Temple) style. After two years of extensive training he became an instructor, and a year later he was promoted to chief instructor of all his Grand Master’s martial arts schools and was instrumental in opening several more schools throughout Western Canada and Washington State.
During that time, through hard training and dedication to the Temple system, he achieved a master’s degree in this rare and very combative style. Moh style is an exclusive blend of Honan and Fukien Shaolin methods practiced and studied by Master Terlecki under his teacher’s guidance.
In February, 1986 Master Terlecki parted with the organization. After leaving, he dedicated himself to further his study of the Temple system of martial arts, its applications, philosophy and spirituality and then opened his own martial arts school and named it “Shaolin Kung-Fu Academy”. It is worthy to note, at this time, that Grand Master Terlecki has been teaching martial arts internationally for 45 years, exclusively specializing in one on one instruction. He strongly believes that each student has his/her pace of learning and requires personal expert attention. It is very well understood, by any instructor anywhere, that in order to truly instill accurate knowledge, the teacher must spend a great deal of time with a student in a one on one environment.
