Shaolin-Do online pro shop
To provide our students with better service, we have opened an online pro shop. Benefit from:
- More convenient shopping
- A greater selection of products
- Better value with bundled products
- Not having to track down Sifu to buy stuff!
This store will meet all your gear requirements up through and including green belt (kung fu). Beyond that, please shop at the kwoon for specialized kung fu weapons, tai chi uniforms and weapons and Shaolin-Do branded products.
Basic Skill and Conditioning
We are excited to bring back the Basic Skills and Conditioning class in 2008.
This class is held every Sunday 11am-12:15pm. Don't let the name of the class fool you! Just because it says "basic skills" doesn't mean that if you are a brown or black belt, you've surpassed that level. On the contrary, even black belts can benefit from the class. This should be a staple of your training diet.
Don't fall prey to the instant gratification of spending Sunday on the couch, sleeping in or watching football. Come in and start your day doing what you love!
Race for the Cure - TEAM SHAOLIN-DO
For the 7th straight year, TEAM SHAOLIN-DO will participate in the Susan G. Komen National Race for the Cure. Again brown belt Mindy Larmore has offered to be captain for our team. Last year, through her efforts, our team of 23 raised almost $2,500.
