The TCM theory lessons were very clear, well structured, and taught with a strong practical focus. Through visual explanations, drawings, and examples from everyday life, Laoshi Jian presented the concepts in a way that made them easy to understand and remember.

The classes not only gave me valuable knowledge but also deepened my understanding of the holistic approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

For me, the teachings on the Five Elements and how they interact were particularly valuable. Understanding how the individual elements are interconnected and influence one another showed me once again how important it is to maintain balance between different areas of life, such as nutrition, sleep, and physical activity.

I can highly recommend Laoshi Jian’s TCM classes to anyone who wants to take a more holistic approach to their health and develop a deeper understanding of the connection between body and mind.

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.

Choju has helped me become more aware of how I react when facing unexpected or challenging situations. Through the Brainkinetix training, I am learning to recognize these moments earlier and to better mobilize my own resources instead of simply getting stuck. This helps me regain a certain level of control and makes unexpected situations feel less stressful and more manageable.

Qi Gong with Mario (Shi Heng Zheng) adds another important dimension to the training. I have practiced Qi Gong with different instructors, but Mario’s Qi Gong is the one I prefer. His way of teaching requires real commitment and encourages me to fully engage in the practice.

Training with him gives me a rare feeling - like the moment before an important challenge when you feel calm, strong and confident about what is coming. For me, this combination is very valuable. The weekly training has become something meaningful to me and makes me want to continue learning and progressing.

Laoshi Miao Hai is an exceptional teacher. His knowledge and understanding of the internal arts are incredible, and he shares it with amazing clarity and generosity. He is a very patient teacher who really thrives in helping students grow.

I've learnt more in 3 years practicing under his guidance than in 10 years practicing Qi gong with much older teachers. His explanations are clear and precise. He gives students clear instructions, encourages us to experiment and see by ourselves how the body and the mind function, and whenever a question is asked, you're sure to learn something new and valuable from his detailed answers.

Training under Laoshi's guidance has had clear effects on my body and mind. I've seen tangible improvements to my health and my body is stronger and more connected. I'm also much more stable and grounded: I manage my emotions much better and it takes a lot to unsettle me now (and as the mother of a teenager, that's really precious!).

To me, his teachings have meant much more than 'just training'. Laoshi literally embodies the Shaolin virtues and is an inspiration for his students, well beyond the practice. When you train with him, you can clearly see how Qi gong and Buddhism are connected and how Qi gong is actually about how we go through this life. I hope many people will have the opportunity to train with him!

I had the opportunity to attend a TCM class with our teacher, Laoshi Miao Jian. We learned about various signs and indicators and how external observations can provide clues about potential health conditions. That alone was already a very enriching insight for me.

Before this experience, I had very little exposure to Traditional Chinese Medicine, so the class gave me a valuable first introduction to the subject. It was very interesting and easy to understand. Based on what I learned, I now want to explore TCM further and develop a better understanding of the approaches it offers alongside conventional medicine.

Thank you, Jian, for this insightful and educational experience.

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.

The training experience, led by Shi Heng Zheng - Mario, was an intensive yet clearly structured way of training. Focus and mindfulness formed the common thread throughout all training sessions. The program followed a holistic approach, combining warm-ups, coordination, mobility, endurance, and strength. Each sequence challenged and developed both body and mind equally.

Everything begins with the direction of our own thoughts. It is not speed, performance, or perfection that matters, but the willingness to keep trying and to remain fully present.

I learned to stay focused in everything I do, whether it involves performance-oriented activities or regeneration and recovery. The quality of our attention determines how we act, how we move, and how we perceive ourselves.

Being mindful of our surroundings and the people around us is essential. But being mindful of ourselves is just as important - in training, in everyday life, and in moments of both tension and calm.

Shi Miao Hai is, without exaggeration, the most diligent, kind, caring, and high-standard teacher I have ever met. During my training and over the years, I have worked with more than twenty different masters and teachers, and his ability to explain the most subtle and nuanced aspects of practice is something I have rarely, if ever, encountered.

People can sometimes be misled by his young age and appearance. Behind that is an incredibly steady and unshakable heart, and a human being who has genuinely committed himself to walking the path and serving those who are willing to walk this path with him. I consider myself very fortunate to have met a teacher like Shi Miao Hai. This is a Teacher in the fullest sense of the word. Without his teaching and support, I would not have the health, strength, clarity, and direction that I have in my life today.

What stands out to me especially is how seriously he takes the responsibility of being a teacher. He truly cares about his students. He has spent an enormous amount of time taking an extremely complex art, understanding its different layers, systemizing it, and finding ways of transmitting it to people as clearly and efficiently as possible. I believe he has been remarkably successful in doing that.

I believe there is beautiful karma in meeting a teacher like this, and if that opportunity comes into your life, better make use of it, and allow the teaching to help you develop into the being you are supposed to become.
