SHAOLIN TAI CHI
Shaolin Rou Quan means “Soft Fist” and belongs to the internal martial arts. It was only released to the public by the Shaolin Temple a few years ago. Shaolin Tai Chi Rou Quan is the art of relaxation. It is a spiral-like movement based on traditional Chinese philosophy. The Rou Quan exercises strengthen the back muscles and relieve the spine. In addition, deep abdominal breathing is taught, which has a positive effect on the circulatory and nervous systems.
In Rou Quan, health is the main priority. This martial art, with its soft and flowing movements, is suitable for anyone who wants to reduce stress in everyday life, as well as for older people and those who are physically weakened. The gentle and dynamic movement sequences arise from the power of the inner center and promote the balance of Yin and Yang. Through the supple and flowing exercises, Qi is cultivated and overall mobility is improved.

Shaolin Mian Quan
Shaolin Mian Quan (“Soft fist”) is part of the internal martial arts of Shaolin Kung Fu. It combines practical combat application with health-promoting benefits and is a prime example of the Shaolin principle of “internal cultivation with external application.”
Through soft and flowing movements combined with unique breathing methods, it helps stretch the tendons and bones, improve joint flexibility, and support the circulation of Qi and blood. When practicing Mian Quan, the focus is on mental concentration and inner calm, which helps regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and relieve physical and mental fatigue. Mian Quan is practiced in two ways: slow practice and fast practice.
Slow practice focuses on health care and requires inner calm and concentration; movements are slow and gentle. Long-term practice can cultivate inner strength and mindfulness. Fast practice emphasizes combat application, focusing on practical techniques. Through skills such as “粘” (zhan: to stick), “连” (lian: to connect) and “随” (sui: to follow), softness overcomes hardness and the opponent is flexibly controlled.
Although Mian Quan appears soft and gentle on the outside, it contains hidden strength within. It not only reflects the connection between stillness and movement, and inner and outer cultivation, but also embodies the profound unity of “care and application” within Shaolin Kung Fu.
