Note
This intensive kungfu course is meant for instructors
or those with at least three years of kungfu experience.
Beginners who wish to take the course must work extra
hard to compensate for their lack of experience.
While results can be felt during the course itself,
lasting effects and of a high standard can be obtained
only if the students continue practicing what they have
learnt, for at least a few months, if not years.
No one can be proficient in kungfu by merely
attaining an intensive course. The purpose of the course
is to provide students with fundamental skills and
techniques; subsequent diligent practice is necessary.
Intending students should also note that while combat
efficiency is emphasized, this course is never meant for
street combat or prize-fighting. One essential condition
is required for participating in the Intensive Shaolin
Kungfu Course, and that is to uphold and practice the
Ten Shaolin Laws. Please read and understand the
