Gulun Kung Fu

Zen in Movement

Internal kung fu—a rare form of Shaolin martial arts
where meditation is expressed in physical form.

While others pursue fighting or acrobatics,
we cultivate something deeper:

A silent mind.
Deep rootedness.
Spiralling movements that flow from the body's core
to harmonise with nature.

Think Tai Chi's flowing grace,
but rooted in the ancient mysterious power of Zen.

The Lineage

"Move as imperceptibly as a dragon,
as silently as a tiger."
— Shifu Wu Nanfang

Our lineage draws its roots back to Bodhidharma,
the father of Zen.

Hidden in the mountains
between Shaolin Temple and ancient forests,
Master Wu Nanfang—fifth generation lineage holder—
is a walking treasure of history,
carrying knowledge that goes back thousands of years.

This isn't kung fu as you know it.

This is a path to XinYiBa—
the supreme state where practice transcends mind and intention,
leading to awakening.
