Empowering Underserved Communities through Shaolin Kung Fu

At the Brooklyn Shaolin Kung Fu Center, we are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving the underserved Black and Latino kids in our communities. Our mission is to provide these children with the opportunity to learn authentic Shaolin Temple Kung Fu and train like the thousands of children at the renowned Chin’s Shaolin Temple in Henan’s Song Mountain, as well as children from all across the Henan province, China, and around the world.

We firmly believe in the immense benefits that Shaolin Kung Fu offers, not only in terms of physical fitness but also in mental and spiritual well-being. Through our programs, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining a strong mind-body connection and the positive impact it can have on overall health. This is particularly crucial for children who may face challenges such as asthma and other diseases due to their impoverished conditions and less healthy lifestyles.

One of our primary goals is to provide scholarships for children from underserved communities, ensuring that they have access to our Kung Fu classes. We understand that financial constraints should not be a barrier to their participation in activities that can greatly enhance their lives. By organizing fundraising events, we aim to generate more resources to support these scholarships and maintain our training facilities.

In addition to scholarships, we also strive to provide opportunities for our students to participate in competitions and cultural exchange programs at the Shaolin Temple in China. These experiences not only allow them to showcase their skills but also expose them to the rich cultural heritage of Shaolin Kung Fu. It is through these exchanges that our students can gain a deeper understanding of the art and its roots, fostering a sense of connection and appreciation for their practice.

By empowering underserved communities through Shaolin Kung Fu, we hope to instill confidence, discipline, and resilience in our students. The physical training, mental focus, and spiritual teachings of Shaolin Kung Fu can have a transformative effect on their lives, equipping them with valuable skills that extend far beyond the training center.

We invite you to join us in our mission to provide a brighter future for these children. Together, we can make a difference in their lives and help them unlock their full potential through the power of Shaolin Kung Fu.
