I enjoyed the practices. The pace of the lessons was ideal making the techniques easy to learn. I love the spirituality of the practices and the spirituality of the teacher. They raise your vibration through movement and techniques. It is a fun practice.

I liked the combination of the strikes. I enjoyed moving my body. The flow of energy each stance integrates was amazing. The more I practiced it, the more I enjoyed. I found it peaceful to do. My confidence grew and attunement began within the movements. The flow was highly integrated. The confidence that the practice gave was good. The level of energy work contained within the movements was fabulous. Each strike was different.

I always do recommend the practices because the Shaolin practices such as this fighting pose series has benefits from all realms - body, mind and spirit. I believe the study of the Shaolin ways is transformational and for everyone. I am continuously amazed and inspired by them all.

I am grateful to have the Shaolin Temple. I am grateful for what they see as possible within the human spirit. Thank you for everything that the Shaolin Temple and it's teachers have brought to me.

I feel truly blessed and fortunate to know such a wonderful teacher who helps me feel more connected to myself as I practice these techniques. As a child, I remember watching Shaolin movies and how they trained, and I always wished I had a great teacher of my own. Now have one.

My true joy in joining Shaolin training isn't just learning the method; it's realigning the body, mind, and soul. Each technique the master taught me is spiritually uplifting. I am moving slowly, but I'm making progress, and I'll reach my destiny at a slow, consistent pace, which sometimes brings challenges in my life. But I am compassionate and thrilled to learn new techniques every week.

I've noticed a major shift in what I believe is possible in terms of coordination, strength, flexibility, and speed. It gives me greater courage and control over my mind and body. By helping me notice each breath as it happens, it also makes me feel more present in my physical body.

When I first signed up, I doubted whether I was ready for the course. But after a week of thought, I decided I wanted to move forward and I think that's the best decision I've made for myself. Learning from the great master changes my life in different ways every day.

As a business owner and personal trainer, I love sharing this wonderful art with my family, friends, and the clients whom I serve every day. 

Not seeing the body in isolation and moving it as a whole, as “one muscle,” was completely new to me and is still a great challenge. The coordination of breath, muscles, fascia and a clear mindset allows for a completely different dynamic of movement than simply copying the forms from the outside.

The centering and connections between movements, as well as the conscious use of the entire body, have improved. Shi Heng Yi explained the exercises very clearly and reduced them to the essentials, and it helps again and again to first work slowly and consciously before becoming faster and more powerful.

The combination of a good explanation and showing the movement is particularly valuable. Working with the breath is also particularly important, as conscious breathing makes greater use of the body’s natural mechanics instead of working with too much muscular tension and force.

I am more centered, more content, more self-disciplined, more concentrated and focused. My coordination has also improved, and I think my technique overall has improved as well. Even as an older person, I can still learn a great deal. It takes longer, but it is possible, and rather than muscle mass, it requires more coordination and technique.

I would recommend the techniques to others because the wide range of different exercises is suitable for both young and old. It is a long path of development that includes not only physical aspects but also mental and spiritual values, and I continue to appreciate this holistic approach very much.

I really like the Green Dragon strikes techniques because they weren't just about hitting hard. Which I was trying to do at the start. After a short while I realised they taught me how to generate power not just from the arms and shoulders but also from my whole body, my core, hips and legs.

By doing these striking techniques regularly I found I was getting a stomach, flexibility and a focus workout also.

I would recommend to anyone interested in muscle development, flexibility and learning to use the whole body in one movement.
