Chinese Shao-Lin Center of Raleigh

Shao-Lin Kung Fu is a 1500 year old Chinese martial art developed by the monks in Honan Province for health, mental and physical conditioning and self-defense. The system encompasses empty hand, the 18 classical weapons, and animal fighting styles. Internal areas include Tai Chi, Pa Kua, Hsing-I, Wooden Man and ancient breathing & meditation. The Chinese Shao-Lin Center (CSC) of Raleigh serves Cary, Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and the surrounding area, including Apex, Holly Springs, Garner, Knightdale and more. Located in Cary, the North Carolina school is part of a network of 7 centers that span across the Southwest United States and reach as far as the country of Spain. We encourage you to spend some time on our site and learn what traditional Martial Arts training is all about. We also invite you to visit our school to observe or try a free class.
