Shaolin Kung Fu Experience in Shanghai: Master Yan'an's Cultural Insights
What to Do in Shanghai Beyond the Usual Activities in 2025

Think Kung Fu is all flying kicks and movie stunts?👀
Today, our old friend Zita and I visited the Shaolin Kung Fu Cultural Center in Shanghai to experience real Shaolin martial arts! Here, we not only got a physical workout, but also gained insight into the deeper meaning of Kung Fu through a conversation with Master Yan’an, the head of the center. He started practicing Kung Fu in the Shaolin Temple at the age of 6 and spent 7 years in the U.S., and has taught Chinese Kung Fu in over 30 countries. Let’s hear his story!
