I belong to the 34th generation of Shaolin masters; my Shaolin name is Yan Shan (延山). For 30 years I have been researching and studying the knowledge and wisdom of the Shaolin arts – Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi (Taiji) and Qigong (Chi Kung) – with the most renowned and authentic teachers.

Since 2006 I have travelled regularly to China to train at monasteries and famous schools of Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi, including their birthplaces: the Shaolin Temple and the village of Chenjiagou, where Taijiquan was born.

I have taught for 20 years in Korinthos, Greece, and for the past 12 years I have organised international training camps on Shaolin, Taiji and Qigong.

My philosophy is to stay with the essence of these arts, away from any kind of exaggeration, and to transmit the ancient Chinese knowledge and its benefits to the West, so that anyone who wishes can improve their health, well-being and the balance between body and mind.

On Udemy I teach the two classic Shaolin internal methods: Yi Jin Jing (muscle and tendon change) and Xi Sui Jing (bone marrow and brain cleansing).
