A genuine Shaolin Temple in Archway, this official UK branch of the order was set up by thirty-fourth generation fighting monks sent by the abbot of the central monastery in China. Training is available in real gong fu combat as well as qi gong meditation techniques, and the Temple is the leading UK school of san shou, a form of freestyle fighting.
Annual membership costs £100, with student and children's rates available. Additional fees are charged for training.
