Welcome to SHAOLIN GONGFU (KUNG FU) CITY - home of Shaolin martial arts in London. Please explore our website to learn more about the Shaolin arts (including shaolin kung fu and qigong) and their history, or to find out more about training with Shaolin Gongfu City under master Shifu Mark Browne (Shaolin name Shifu Shi Hei Long).
Shaolin Gongfu (Kung Fu) has seen an ever increasing popularity across the world in recent years. The impressive stage show tours ("Shaolin Wheel of Life" and "Kung Fu Masters") have brought fascination to the world as sell out audiences watched monks breaking bricks and metal bars on their bare skin. But this is no theatrical trick - it is the ancient art of qigong that can be studied and learnt right here at Shaolin Gongfu City. We aim to teach the full and genuine range of Shaolin Kung Fu. We teach authentic, real Shaolin Kung Fu that has filtered down through each generation since the origin of Kung Fu 1,500 years ago. At Shaolin Gongfu City you will learn traditional Shaolin Kung Fu as it was originally taught - for its true martial purpose and application.
Shaolin Gongfu City is the only place to learn the whole range of authentic Shaolin martial arts in London!
