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.

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.

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. 

My love for martial arts started when I was 4 years old and for the first time I saw the Shaolin monks in The tv show “Kung fu” … Some how they spoke to my soul, and with my small Bamboo stick I was trying to fallow along and be a Shaolin monk too.

 
My biggest challenge before starting the course: First challenge was to have the courage to start, I kept looking at the description of the program, but fear hold me back.. I guess it was fear of changes. Changes that were overdue and necessary!

 
Because my line of work this year I was able to help thousands of my clients and passing along to them some of the course teaching. One of my client recently wrote me a review that really touched my heart: “ in the mist of chaos she calms the soul” . I couldn’t put it in better words myself but this is exactly what I feel the course did for me ... calmed my soul, I am more grounded, focused peaceful and able to help more people! Thank you so much Shaolin Temple Europe.
