Master Your Shaolin Foundations Workshops Series- Spring 2022



In April, May and June 2022, we will be holding a series of online workshops dedicated to Kung Fu Foundation Training. 

In each workshop Shifu Yan Xin will focus on one particular area to help you correct, improve and consolidate your kung fu foundation and skills.

The next  workshops will take place on the following Saturdays:


09 April | Shaolin Foundation Kicks

14 May | Shaolin Foundation Stances

11 June | Chain Fist Form (Lian Huan Quan)

 

“Foundation training is the basis for everything. No matter where you are on your Kung Fu journey, you will begin to notice, that what it comes down to, time after time are the foundations such as the stances and kicks that makes your kung fu Solid, Strong & Outstanding." 


These workshops offer you the opportunity to bring your attention to detail and to work on adjusting and making changes that will help you improve your movements and your Kung Fu practice in general.

During this extra training time, dedicated to specific aspects of your Kung Fu Foundations, you get the chance to receive more detailed feedback and corrections from Shifu Yan Xin, picking up and correcting what might have not been noticed during your own training.

Working on foundations never looses its relevance as all other aspects of training are based on these foundations. 

The stronger your foundations are the easier it will be to improve in other areas of your Kung Fu practice.

So, we encourage you to make some time and invite you to come and join us for this workshop series, that offers the opportunity make the ‘boring stuff’ more exciting by learning, practicing and training together.

For those of you who are planning to take part in the Level 1 Exams in June, these workshops can help you as part of your preparation training.

The Kicks and Stance workshop is open to all levels. 

For the Chain Fist (Lian Huan Quan) workshop we recommend that you have some basic understanding and training of this form before attending the workshop, as we will be working ON the form rather than teach the form during this workshop. 

If you are new here you can start learning the form with the online course in preparation for the workshop.

The workshops can be booked as a package or individually, depending on your availability and interest.

FAQ

  • What is the difference between enrolling as a Face-to-Face and an Attendee Only student?

    Both training options, the Face-to-Face Interactive training and Attendee-Only option, take place at the same time. The Face-to-Face training is very similar to training in a physical class together with other students, where you can be seen by Shifu Yan Xin and he will be able to help you with your training and can correct your movements. In order to keep up with the quality of teaching, number of spaces for this option is limited. With the participation only (Non Face-to-Face Option), you will be able to see Shifu Yan Xin live but no one else will be able to see you, so you can still enjoy the live training atmosphere but would not be able to have your movements corrected.

  • How do I know if I am a KungFu.Life member to benefit from the Warrior member price?

    If you are subscribed to one of our Yearly, Quarterly or Monthly subscription plans (either as a Warrior or Wellness Member) or if you are a Lifetime Member of ours then you are a KungFu.Life member and you will be able to find your discount code to join the Live Yi Jin Jing program in your KungFu.Life Members page and/or in you email inbox.

  • What if I can't make it to some or all of the Live Sessions

    If you can't make it to some or all of the live training, the replays of the sessions will be available for you to catch up on. We strongly recommend you join the training live for a better training experience, but if life really gets in the way, then following the recordings is the second best option. If this is the case, then just opt for the non Face-to-Face pricing option at the check out.
