Shaolin Kung Fu and Qiqong Training 1 Day Intro Course

About this tour

This one-day introductory course teaches foundational Shaolin kung fu and qigong techniques in Northern Thailand's mountains. You'll train under experienced instructors, learning martial forms and breathing practices designed to build strength and mental clarity. The day combines structured lessons with fresh organic meals, tea ceremonies, and access to a fully equipped gym. Suitable for those with moderate fitness who want to sample authentic Chinese martial arts without committing to a longer retreat.

• Qigong breathing and meditation practice integrated throughout the day

• Fresh organic meals from on-site kitchen gardens and orchards
• Traditional Chinese tea ceremonies at 8AM and 5PM

What to expect

You'll arrive to begin training around 8AM with a tea session, then move into structured kung fu fundamentals—basic stances, strikes, and footwork taught in a group setting. Afternoon sessions focus on qigong: controlled breathing, flowing movements, and body awareness. Between lessons, you can rest, explore the gym independently, or eat fresh meals prepared from the property's gardens. The instructors tailor guidance to your fitness level, though expect genuine physical effort. By day's end, you'll have practical techniques to take home and a clearer sense of whether longer training appeals to you.

Good to know

Bring your own water bottle for refilling. The facility is close to town if you want meals outside the program. You need moderate fitness; this isn't a gentle introduction. Accommodation is separate and not included.
