When you train with me, you are not learning performance art; you are following the same traditional lineage I studied in Songshan, China. We do not focus on aesthetics or quick fixes. Whether you start with our Weekend Foundation program or the Daily Immersive sessions in Shahpur Jat, expect to build your practice on the fundamentals of Qigong, stance stability, and mental discipline. ### The Path from Songshan to Delhi Authentic Shaolin Kung Fu is about *Xiu Xin Yang Shen*—cultivating the heart and nourishing the spirit. My journey as a 34th generation secular disciple at the Shaolin Temple was defined by repetition, discipline, and the pursuit of skill over show. I have brought this exact system to Delhi. ### What You Will Learn My teaching is a bridge between ancient Zen tradition and your modern needs. * **Qigong & Internal Energy:** Using breath coordination to manage energy and reduce stress. * **Stance Work (Ma Bu):** The foundation of every martial artist. It builds stability in the legs and focus in the mind. * **Conditioning:** Traditional bodyweight training that strengthens joints, improves flexibility, and develops endurance. ### Why Train Here? Training in a standard gym gives you sweat; training in my dojo gives you *gong fu*—skill acquired through time and effort. We operate in a traditional, distraction-free environment in Shahpur Jat. There are no shortcuts. Whether you are a beginner looking to improve mobility or someone seeking the depth of Tai Chi and Zen meditation, you will work hard, but you will progress. *Zindagi jeenay kay liye hai.* Life is for living, and training is how we prepare to live it fully. ## About Shi Yan Xiang I am Shifu Yan Xiang.
