We are from time to time fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from Shaolin Master Yang Lian Chun.
Master Yang is a Shaolin lay monk. His parents and grandparents were kung fu experts and Buddists and wanted him to become a great kung fu expert. His first memory is of his father teaching him kung fu. His father is now 90 and is still teaching. In 1963, when Yang Lian Chun was 6 years old, his parents took him to the Shaolin monastery in Henan province. Training started each morning at 4am and was extremely demanding. After 8 years of strict daily training regimes, he left the monastery at the age of 14 to continue his formal education. He continued to train and practice with his family for a further 15 years.
Master Yang will be involved in future classes and demonstrations when possible, these will be announced on this site.
