My Journey into the Shaolin Arts

​

Hello, my name is Justin, and it is my passion and calling to teach the Shaolin arts to people like you. My story begins in a place of struggle, dealing with low energy, stress, and self-doubt. As someone on the autism spectrum, I faced unique challenges, including difficulty with focus, emotional regulation, and physical coordination. Despite my efforts through fitness, meditation, and self-improvement practices, I felt a deeper need for balance and clarity in my life.

My discovery of the Shaolin arts was life-changing. I stumbled across a video of Master Shi Heng Yi practicing Ba Duan Jin, his movements calm and purposeful. Captivated by the grace and mindfulness of this practice, I began my own journey into the Shaolin tradition. Though the initial training was challenging, I quickly realized that discipline and consistency were the true foundations of growth. Over time, I experienced a profound transformation—not just in my body but in my mind and spirit as well.

The Shaolin Path

​

I immersed myself in Shaolin training through a 12-month self-mastery program with Shaolin Temple Europe, learning foundational skills and Nei Gong practices. This tradition emphasizes the connection between the mind and body, fostering qualities like clarity, calmness, and focus. These practices were invaluable in helping me navigate the challenges of being on the autism spectrum, offering tools for resilience, balance, and confidence.

In the summer of 2024, I deepened my journey by spending a week at Shaolin Temple Europe, where I experienced the disciplined yet harmonious life of the monastery. This experience solidified my understanding of Shaolin's core principles and confirmed my desire to share its transformative power with others.

​

A Commitment to Mastery and Teaching

​

Today, I dedicate myself to the Shaolin arts, training 6–7 hours daily in Qi Gong, Kung Fu, meditation, and physical conditioning. This commitment allows me to bring authenticity, presence, and high-quality instruction to my students.

Teaching is my greatest passion. I take a personalized approach, meeting each student where they are and helping them embrace the discomfort that often comes with meaningful growth. I aim to create an inclusive environment where students of all backgrounds feel empowered to push through their limits and unlock their full potential.

The Power of Shaolin for Everyone

​

Shaolin is more than just physical forms or combat techniques. At its heart lies the development of the mind, achieved through the body. This connection is what makes Shaolin unique and universally beneficial. Whether you seek improved focus, physical health, or inner peace, the Shaolin arts can help you unlock the power already within you.
