Welcome to Shaolin Temple USA
in the San Francisco Bay Area!

Zen Buddhist Temple & Shaolin Kung Fu Academy

Headquartered in Fremont, California, Shaolin Temple USA is the first North America branch of the world famous Shaolin Temple of Song Mountain in Henan Province, China.

Under the direction of Master Shi YanRan—34th generation Shaolin Temple Buddhist Monk, 16 members of the Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Monks Corps now stationed at Shaolin Temple USA carry on the 1,500-year old traditions and training disciplines of Shaolin Temple. Their mission is to spread Shaolin Ch’an (Zen) Philosophy to the world. Shaolin Temple USA teaches Shaolin Ch’an (Zen) Philosophy through the core Shaolin disciplines of martial arts or action meditation: Kung Fu (Gongfu) and Chi Kung (Qigong). 

Students of all backgrounds, faiths, ages and athletic ability can train at Shaolin Temple USA.

Students come to Shaolin Temple USA to learn and grow from traditional Shaolin training and culture. “Heart to Heart” and “Mind to Mind” is the essence of Shaolin Ch’an Philosophy — and this system of training spans the differences between language and culture as a direct form of growth and understanding. Students find many paths to get to the Temple, while some students seek to build better health and create a feeling of well-being, others may train for self-defense or flexibility, but there is a singular concept behind Shaolin training: martial arts and Ch’an Philosophy are one and the same.
