From the Shaolin Temple to You

Shaolin Chuan Fa

Shaolin Chuan Fa was created by the famous Shaolin Warrior Monks several hundred years ago. With all their martial arts training, the warrior monks of China realized that their existing methods of self-defense were not effective enough to protect the temple and themselves. As a result, a handful of monks created the Shaolin Chuan Fa system that became the most effective self-defense system in all of China and later, the world. To this day it remains so.

These warrior monks meticulously refined their techniques, integrating the fluid grace of animal movements with the most effective combat strategies. This relentless pursuit of excellence and adaptable style made Shaolin Chuan Fa not just a self-defense system, but a comprehensive way of life that has endured through the centuries.

Shaolin Chuan Fa’s effectiveness is no accident. It’s the product of years of relentless training and unwavering discipline, honed by individuals who were committed to protecting their community and perfecting their craft. As we at Steve DeMasco’s Martial Arts of Keene proudly continue this legacy, we bring the same dedication to every class. Our expert instructors provide personalized guidance to ensure every student masters these powerful martial arts styles.

Traditional Kung Fu

POON LONE KUEN

Poon Lone Kuen is traditional Kung Fu at its finest. There is no better form of exercise for health and fitness than traditional Kung Fu, offering rich, traditional forms derived from the five sacred animals: the tenacious tiger, the graceful crane, the swift leopard, the fluid snake, and the legendary Asian dragon. Just imagine harnessing the agility of a leopard or the wisdom of the dragon in every move! This incredible system also incorporates traditional Chinese weapon training, adding another layer of discipline and skill development to your practice.

At Steve DeMasco’s Martial Arts of Keene, we proudly offer this ancient art form, paying homage to its roots while delivering cutting-edge instruction. Shaolin Chuan Fa, developed from these sacred fighting techniques, stands as a testament to the profound depth and effectiveness of these martial arts styles.

Our commitment goes beyond teaching; it’s about embodying the discipline, strength, and spirit that martial arts instill. We at Steve DeMasco’s Martial Arts of Keene are honored to represent Shaolin Kung Fu in the U.S., appointed directly by the prestigious Shaolin Temple in China and the venerable Abbot of the Temple, Shi Yongxin. This exclusive recognition empowers us to bring authentic Shaolin training to you, ensuring you receive the highest quality instruction.

Peace and Centeredness

Tai Chi

Tai Chi stands as the cornerstone of martial arts styles, rooted in over 5000 years of tradition! As the original Kung Fu system, Tai Chi captures the essence of animal movements, helping you develop internal Chi Gong when instructed with precision and care. We take pride in our top-notch instruction that enables students of all ages to master this “soft style” of Kung Fu, building better health and centeredness. 

Our journey together doesn’t just stop at learning movements; we are committed to building a community of strong, disciplined individuals who thrive together. The Yang style, the most popular of Tai Chi, elevates your skills with its unique incorporation of weapon training. It’s not just another one of the martial arts styles we offer; it’s a transformative experience.
