The Way Of Shaolin

We had such a wonderful time at Shaolin Temple UK as our exit point for Varjak Paw, a story about a cat who learns Martial Arts to save its family! When we first arrived we went to the Buddha Hall, where Shifu (Teacher in Chinese) Markus and Barry taught us about the origins of Shaolin and Martial Arts. Then it was time to learn how to stretch in different ways using animal stances, how to block a potential punch, how to fall correctly, and finally, some real Kung Fu moves! We had a great time trying out the moves, and learning how to move our bodies gracefully. The trip ended with  meditation session – some may argue that Tahiti Class had never been so quiet, calm and serene! We were delighted with our special surprise of cookies and juices on our way out. Take a look at the fun we had!
