From the Shaolin Temple to You
Shaolin Chuan Fa
Shaolin Chuan Fa is one of the most dynamic martial arts styles you will encounter, created by the venerable Shaolin Warrior Monks several hundred years ago. Faced with the need to protect the temple and themselves, these monks innovated superior methods of self-defense that remain unrivaled to this day. The essence of Shaolin Chuan Fa lies in its effectiveness as a self-defense system and its rich history as a martial arts style. At SDSS Martial Arts of Newtown, we’re privileged to bring this exceptional system to you, directly from the heritage of the Shaolin Temple. Whether you’re looking to enhance your physical abilities, mental clarity, or overall confidence, Shaolin Chuan Fa offers the multifaceted benefits you need. Connect with this time-honored tradition and become part of a legacy that promotes strength, awareness, and enduring peace. Each class promises not just powerful techniques, but a profound connection to a history that has shaped the very essence of martial arts.
Traditional Kung Fu
POON LONE KUEN
Poon Lone Kuen represents one of the most revered martial arts styles in traditional Kung Fu. At SDSS of Newtown, we honor the tradition and disciplined practice that comes with this form, offering unparalleled benefits for health, fitness, and personal growth. Drawing inspiration from the 5 sacred animals—tiger, crane, leopard, snake, and the famous Asian dragon—Poon Lone Kuen Kung Fu is a complete system that merges physical exercise with spiritual growth. Whether you’re looking to train in traditional forms or incorporate weapon techniques, this practice offers a holistic approach to building strength, agility, and mental focus. Being appointed directly by the Shaolin Temple in China and the Abbot Shi Yongxin, we at SDSS of Newtown are proud to represent and teach these authentic martial arts styles in the U.S. Engage in Poon Lone Kuen, and feel the transformative power of Traditional Kung Fu energize every aspect of your life, leaving you stronger, centered, and more adept in both body and mind.
Peace and Centeredness
Tai Chi
Tai Chi stands as one of the most serene and balanced martial arts styles, tracing its origins back over 5000 years as the original Kung Fu system. Incorporating the fluid movements of the five animals, Tai Chi is designed to develop internal Chi Gong, providing a system that’s accessible to all ages and skill levels. Known as the soft style of Kung Fu, Tai Chi emphasizes peace, centeredness, and internal harmony, making it a perfect practice for achieving both physical and mental well-being. At SDSS, we teach Yang style Tai Chi, which also includes weapon training for those looking to expand their skills further. Each session of Tai Chi fosters tranquility, improved health, and a profound sense of balance, helping you navigate the complexities of daily life with newfound ease. Embrace Tai Chi at SDSS, where every class brings you closer to a harmonious and empowered state of being, reinforcing the idea that martial arts styles are not just about physical prowess but also about enriching your spirit and mind.
