Spending five days at the Shaolin Temple was one of the most transformative and humbling experiences of my life. What struck me most was how Kung Fu is more than a martial art—it's a way of life.

By the end of the fifth day, my muscles ached, my mind was clearer, and my perspective had shifted. I had only scratched the surface of Shaolin Kung Fu, but I gained invaluable insights about myself and the strength that comes from inner harmony. I left the temple not just stronger in body, but more grounded in spirit.

My intention in coming to the Shaolin Temple was simple— to come home to myself.

And I did —
But not through solitude.
Not by staying in comfort.
But through pain, presence, and the power of we.

Resham Amarnani EO Indonesia #Shaolin2025

The few days at the Shaolin Temple under the guidance of Shifu Shi YanHe, helped me in many ways, as I became more aware of my inner-self.

There is a strong and a deep connect between resilience and emotion. The practice and the discipline of the Shaolin routine, strengthens the mind and body. As the resilience improves, the emotional state clears.

Hence, I take better decisions.

I am now more clear, lighter and calm.

I remember vividly my first encounter with Alex; she explained how she was attracted to Kung Fu. Her personal story touched me. Here was a lady who went through personal tribulations and yet overcame them by going back to basics. So I was drawn to what she wanted to transmit. And the experience was enriching to say the least. It allowed us to focus on the essential and to ban the superfluous. Well done Alex and continue the great job of inspiring others.

An amazingly complete program, combining physical, spiritual & philosophical teachings. Absolutely loved it! So much to learn from Shifu. A truly inspiring master. Can’t wait to continue, if the opportunity arises. What a great initiative – thank you Alexandra! Do let me know if there is a repeat or program #2! I have no doubt all the participants came out of the program all pumped up, with a new outlook on life.

To experience the Shaolin way of life over a week-end was a childhood dream come true. We have been brought up on Bruce Lee’s Kung Fu movies and to actually get a first-hand introduction of the Art from a Master was surreal.

Having attended the Shaolin training, I learnt to be more self disciplined and develop my inner strength. A complete program to enhance your mental and physical abilities as well while working in teams. Morevoer, respect and humility have been prevalent during the whole training session which consolidate your attitude of gratitude. Thank you Shifu and Alexandra.

Vikash Somanah, Trainer, LUX* Academy

I can tell you that I have been greatly honoured to attend this session and feel I am privileged. I would like you to know my appreciation of today’s session and activities and to me, Shifu is the most humble person I ever got to meet so far. Despite his enormous talent, knowledge, sharing and devotion, he still remains a human being inside and keeps his humility. You could see it in his eyes and that’s what makes me have the most respect for him. Thank you for making this (Shaolin Masterclass) happen.

Quincy Charmante, F&B Manager, Merville Beach

Thanks for making this happen, was very beneficial. Was not expecting much but it helps and would recommend it to everyone especially very busy/stressed people.
