Zen Tea Ceremony originated from the esoteric culture of Shaolin, combining tasting tea, practicing of courtesy, nurturing self, and refining soul into one art form. It is a descendant of the theory of “Unity of Zen and Tea”, drawing on the practices of the old monk’s ritual to calm your mind down after intensive physical exercise.
Adhering to the tenet of “dual cultivation of Zen and Shaolin Kung Fu, simultaneous progress in academics and combat skills,” we pass on authentic heritage to the next generation. We cultivate dedicated Shaolin disciples with solid foundational skills, upright moral character, and deep cultural understanding.
We uphold the absolute core of historical inheritance: “Uniting Zen and Martial Arts, Cultivating Shaolin Kung Fu with Virtue.” Abiding by the ancient maxim of “Learning Etiquette Before Practicing Art, Cultivating Virtue Before Practicing Skill,” we strictly follow traditional lineages to accept dedicated international students into the formal disciple family.
