Practice makes perfect!
This September’s Bootcamp event will mark the 10th program CK Martial Hearts has held at the Shaolin Temple in Henan, China. On those programs over the past three years we have had the pleasure of taking many people to study kung fu and culture at the temple. In doing so, we have put together what we believe is one of the most intense, in-depth and varied programs available in China today.
We have taken all the great feedback we have received over the years, and created our best program yet. In September, we will be leaving from Beijing on Friday night, though still returning on Sunday of the following week. This allows for an extra day of training, including applications training twice at the Tagou Martial Arts School, something we didn’t offer last year.
The date for our September program is Friday Sept 14th to Sunday Sept 23rd
This program is all-inclusive, starting with meeting participants in Beijing, then accompanying them down to the Shaolin Temple. While there, students will learn the Shaolin Tongbiquan form, plus a variety of fundamental Shaolin exercises supplementary applications and training techniques. This is complemented by Yang style taichi training every morning.
What exactly is included on our 9-day program?
You will start by traveling from Beijing to Shaolin by overnight train, staying at a hotel in Wangzhigou, a small village near the temple, and walking to the temple every day to study. Your guide will also lead warm ups, additional exercises and further study, both before and after your training with the temple’s warrior monks. Our 9-day programs are the most popular martial arts experiences we offer. Training 7 hours every day for a week, participants will learn the traditional Tongbiquan form from Shaolin warrior monks inside the temple, whilst also learning taichi and training strength, speed, stamina, impact conditioning and applications with the guide. The 9-day program includes; There are also various other activities, such as Chinese classes and sightseeing opportunities, that are available for booking upon request. Please see the program page for further details. How much do our programs cost? Aside from the martial aspect of training, living in the Chinese rural environment during these programs, being exposed to the daily life and culture of the Shaolin Temple, having the opportunity to learn more about Chan Buddhism and really get an inside look at what Shaolin martial arts really means, is what we, and our past participants, believe sets our programs apart. For everything listed above, the price our 9-day program in 2018 is 6688 RMB, approximately 988 USD / 750 GBP. After an initial deposit payment of 25%, participants then have up until 1 week before the start of the program to pay the rest.

You get to learn the history of what and where you're practicing along with other sights you venture to; and you control how much you do, but expect to be pushed to your limits physically, mentally, and even emotionally. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a different kind of challenge and experience. Living and training on location was akin to stepping into a movie. The kindness and openness of the locals was heartwarming, their constant training a marvel, and access to the knowledge, spirituality, and discipline of the Warrior Monks in the Shaolin Temple, an inspiration. Absolutely fantastic programme! Suitable for everyone; you can experience it at your own level of fitness and ability. I came to the programme with zero Martial Arts experience and had a wonderful though very challenging week. I can't recommend this enough! If you're looking for a physical and mental challenge, this is the place to go, regardless if you have previous experience with martial arts. I can honestly say that through the training, I know I am capable of much more than I allowed myself to believe previously. This not your normal day to day martial arts class. This is a once in a lifetime experience that will take you out of your comfort zone and push you to the limit while offering you a very rewarding challenge that’ll make you realize the limit is yourself. Studying at the Shaolin Temple was to do each day what had only yesterday been impossible. To experience the achievement lying beyond fear and pain was life-changing. For those contemplating studying Kung Fu at Shaolin Temple with CK Martial Hearts: you can do this. The atmosphere of the monastery is very special, even if I could not appreciate so that at the beginning of the training. I can say it was a great experience. I have learned a lot for me physically and mentally and can recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something special. Most of the trainings was inside the Shaolin Temple. The Kung-fu classes were teach by a monk of the Shaolin Temple. If you want to improve or start in Kung-Fu, or you want to experience how is living in a real Kung-Fu Chinese school, this is the right place. I don't think you can find any company who can let you learn traditional Kung fu from the real monk and even training inside the temple itself. If you want to see how much you can push yourself and try something different, this is something you cannot miss when you visit china. I knew nothing about Kung Fu and I spent an amazing morning doing Taichi with them. It felt amazing. Being trained out there is like being part of something bigger than you are. And I cannot thank enough AJ and Nic to make me discover this. This day determined that I want to pursue this quest. Wow. Not only did the program give me access to an amazing and incredibly valuable experience studying the fundamentals of Chinese Gong Fu, but also to a rich cultural Chinese experience that is increasingly hard to find, especially at this place! This course has been the single best thing that has ever happened to me. I have no past Kung Fu experience however in the 10 day course I learned so much not just about Kung Fu, I learned my body, my strengths and weaknesses, that my mind can definitely overcome my body. In any skills, one has to continue practicing for a long time in order to be capable at them, however this course gave us a really solid introduction and focus on how to keep developing our abilities. I will definitely come back to Shaolin with this program, and would recommend it to anyone. Signup now and save money! For the next 7 days (until August 6th, 2018) we are offering everyone who signs up and pays their deposit, a 10% discount on the full price of the program. That means a saving of 668 RMB ($100) off of the program’s price.
