The timetable is very balanced and the teaching style follows the traditional way. There will be 3 sessions of training guided by the Shaolin masters.

Each student's goals are very important to the Temple and the training timetable will be adjusted accordingly. Kung Fu is part of life and nature, so the training is adjusted accordingly to follow the nature cycles. When a student arrives here and has no previous experience in Kung Fu, he/she is advised to follow for one week the timetable and decide what he/she likes best, so for the following weeks the student can focus only on the personal goals. For advanced students, the Temple tailors the timetable to follow their very specific goals. The program does not limit a student appetite for learning.
