Countless Hollywood, Hong Kong, and other movies often misrepresented kung fu and Shaolin kung fu in a manner to glorify vengeance, violence, and fighting to appeal to a broader audience rather than reflecting the original Buddhist principles of Shaolin Kung Fu. Initially, Shaolin was a meditation and yoga style practiced a remote part of central China on the side of Mount Shao in a new/small forest (Lin). Peaceful Shaolin training was a hard yoga for health and wellbeing, together with yogic meditative practice. Yet, such a remote location made the monks vulnerable to attacks and even wholesale slaughter. After the destruction of Shaolin, the surviving monks adapted their physical health and wellbeing routines to serve as a means of self-defence. Still, as Buddhists, they key focus remained avoiding causing undue harm and conflict altogether, if possible. Not by turning the other cheek and submitting, but by being confident and having confidence in their ability to hold their own.
The threat of physical violence, heated verbal confrontations, and intimidating Alpha behaviors create a Fight/Flight/Freeze situation that often dominates the attacked psyche and sometimes make people overreact, not react at all, or even run leaving friends behind. For us, today, these key principles hold even more true. In a world of ten-billion cameras, when you fight, you may have to win five times! The does not end with the physical encounter.
In serious circumstances comes the police and the need to prove you were not the aggressor. If injury occurred, you need to show that you did not act rashly and too harshly. If you were with friends or family, you cannot come across as a raging, out of control spoilt brat. For your own mental health, you need to know that you did not overreact and have a memory that negatively impacts you for life: win or lose. With mobile phone cameras, the encounter may be seen by the world!
Learning Shaolin Kung Fu will teach you and your family and children the self-confidence to not be the aggressor, the confidence not to overreact, and the techniques and skills if you need to defend yourself. We believe that you will not find better, safer, or more relevant human martial art or kung fu training in Mordialloc, in Braeside in Parkdale, or anywhere outside of Shaolin.
At our Kung Fu Academy in Melbourne, we welcome students of all ages and abilities, especially so those who are brand new to martial arts. We offer 3 free sessions to beginners, to be sure, to be sure. After 3 lessons you will know if you want to continue your journey into the world of Shaolin Kung Fu and become a long time student like most of our members.
Our Shaolin Kung Fu martial arts training in Mordialloc includes mind and body training, including physical fitness, agility, flexibility, core strength, and endurance. This training will gradually improve you, your families, and/or child's confidence and self-belief that will stand in good stead for all of life, not just in times of conflict or confrontation. The fundamentals of Shaolin propagated peace and avoid causing harm to any living creature. This has fundamentally a positive impact on all aspects of life and metal health.
However, there are no shortcuts or alternatives to this significant life improvement. Training the right martial art, a nonviolent, non confrontational style is the only way. Smashing someone in the face has never really been the preferred option, and for many, it is even impossible. If you have to defend yourself, Shaolin kung fu martial arts classes in Mordialloc will equip you with the necessary techniques, skills, strategies, behaviors, and reflexes to do so effectively and quickly.
Our Shaolin Kung Fu academy is committed to excellence, in a safe no threatening, non confrontational environment in which students are encouraged and supported to develop at their own pace. You will find our members and masters open, honest, fair, and equal in the spirit of Shaolin when teaching Kung Fu.

The Place where You learn how Manage Conflict with Confidence not Fists!
When you look at street fights you will see what mistakes people make. They get into them! What is the use of a fight? I prefer fights that matter, are fun, and improve my skills. Incidental fights just carry too much risk. Even if you win the fight, there a billions of phones around and someone will capture the fight and you are out there as a violent person. Even if the police absolve you of any wrong doing, the investigation will take its toll on you. Then you may also be sued for damages, even if the police did not charge you. Why go through all that hassle? So, what is Shaolin Kung Fu good for if not fighting?
Unlike most movies about the subject, Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu is about not fighting. It is about being confident enough to stand your ground, not flinch when attacked, and deal with the situation, without a fight. Ever hear the quote, "If you know kung fu, you will not need it?"
Shaolin monks are Buddhists and do not fight. You can not do Shaolin to learn to fight, that is an oxymoron. Shaolin practitioners manage conflict situation in the best way possible for both parties confident in their knowledge that they do not need to attack first, know how to manage a violent person, and can evade a few attacks with ease. Only when given no choice or in defence of their loved ones, will Shaolin take action, but not a prolonged fight.
If this is what you are looking for: we are a small martial arts academy, founded 30 years ago, where old friends and new, and everyone is Welcome! In our Saturday 9.15 am children's class (4y - 9y) parents can train together with their children, free of charge. Parents have a better contact to their children when they do things together. Our adult and young adult sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 6 pm and Saturday weaponry at 10.30 am are low impact, no contact, and fun. No contracts, no conditions, come to any class you want, and the first three classes are free.
Safe and Fun Martial Art Fitness
We Enjoy what we do, and we do what we enjoy!
Success is about believing that you can succeed. There is no magic involved but hard work and a little luck. But without the confidence to try, to persevere, and to overcome obstacles and prejudices, nothing will happen. Shaolin Kung Fu is about building your confidence be it in the face of a verbal, physical or mental aggressor. Far more such violence occurs in the workplace and home than the likely hood of a street attack.

Martial Art Training for Fitness and Confidence; many Centuries in the development.
Despite having been around for literally thousands of years Kung Fu still retains somewhat of an air of mystery and is often widely misrepresented - in particular by the film industry. For many today, Kung Fu, an ancient Chinese practice, is about learning new combat skills that may be used when you have to defend yourself. However, Kung Fu was developed to be a part of a lifestyle that was based on self-control and discipline - and today these are two major parts of Kung Fu that must be mastered.

Kung Fu is a beautiful style developed by Monks of the Shaolin Temple in Central China. Originally a Yoga style Breathing, Meditation, Stretching, Fitness and Health exercise, it needed to adapt to also be functional for Self Defense.
Buddhist Monks are averse to violence and aggression but still needed to protect themselves. It was then, much as it is today, the Police or equivalent could not be everywhere and could only do something about attacks after they have occurred. Then too, aggressive and violent house invasions were also common, even to the Shaolin Temple!
Although needing some 500 years, they developed the Shaolin 5 Animal Style of Kung Fu. This allowed the style of defense to be adapted to the needs of the individual, rather than requiring each person to be the same and just smash someone in the face as their main defense. With the Shaolin 5 Animal Style, you choose how you wish to manage an aggressive confrontation.
That is the key in Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu, Situation Management, not confrontation.
You can choose to defend yourself physically. Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu is effective, no matter your body size, weight, age, coordination or physical limitations. Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu allows you to use what you physically have (Tiger). It could be strength, speed or agility. It augments this with the skill of Shaolin Kung Fu techniques and movements.
Conversely, you may be a person who prefers to manage a confrontation with your mental ability (Panther). Shaolin Kung Fu teaches about Redirection, Distraction, Calming techniques (for both you and your attacker), Strategies, Tactics, and Negotiation skills. All which aim to Manage a Situation before it may lead to violence.
Mayhap you are a person who prefers to avoid any form of confrontation and be an inactive, reactive person (Crane) when confronted by an aggressive of violent circumstance. Here too, Shaolin Kung Fu teaches the skills to allow you, to enable your aggressor to defeat themselves. With a combination of physical and mental techniques, you can learn how to not lose in a confrontation; how to 'allow' the attacker to make the mistakes themselves without much input from you. Not losing is better than not winning.
Finally, you may be the type of person who wishes to extricate themselves from a violent confrontation at the earliest possible moment (Snake). Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu allows you to do this too, to recognize when the time is right for this to occur; to read the attacker, to have the skill to avoid being punched, kicked or grabbed, to know when you can safely retreat, without opening yourself to an attack from behind. Turning your back on an aggressive situation has shown itself to be deadly through the spate of recent Coward punches. You will not learn all this in six months but you do not need to. Whilst you are developing these skills, you are also exercising, stretching, becoming fit, healthy and well. You will never be bored with the variety of techniques, skills, tactics, and strategies that Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu has and teaches!
Not sure if this is right for you? No problem, come in to our center in Mordialloc on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday at 6 pm and try out three free sessions of Shaolin 5 Animal Kung Fu. Alternatively, we have Saturdays Traditional Chinese Weaponry training and Exercise session starting at 10.30 am. This is also suited for anyone from the age of 11 to what-ever.
