Shao-Lin Kung-Fu is a 1500 year old Chinese martial art developed by the monks in Honan Province for health, mental and physical conditioning and self-defense. The system encompasses empty hand, the 18 classical weapons, and animal fighting styles. Internal areas include Tai Chi, Pa Kua, Hsing-I, Wooden Man and ancient breathing & meditation. The Chinese Shao-Lin Center (CSC) of New Mexico serves Albuquerque and the surrounding area, including Rio Rancho, Placitas, Los Lunas, Tijeras, Santa Fe, and Taos. Located in Albuquerque, the New Mexico school is part of a network of 9 centers that span across the Southwest United States and reach as far as the country of Spain. The Chinese Shao-Lin Center of New Mexico has been in Albuquerque for over 25 years! We encourage you to spend some time on our site and learn what traditional Martial Arts training in Albuquerque is all about. We also invite you to visit our school and observe a class.

Why learn Shao-Lin Kung-Fu?

We offer training that you cannot find anywhere else in New Mexico! We have the most comprehensive martial art from the Orient and Shao-Lin Kung-Fu is considered the origin of all the martial arts. True Shao-Lin training is for health and self-defense, not for body destructive gymnastics or point-sparring tournaments! At the Chinese Shao-Lin Center, you will train in a non-competitive, adult-centered environment. There are no trophies on the walls or other displays of ego. We also offer the most affordable rates for instruction in New Mexico. Training at the Chinese Shao-Lin Center of New Mexico is so comprehensive and inexpensive that it can replace having to go to a gym, running, swimming, taking self-defense courses, yoga, cross fit, meditation & tai chi, cross training, or MMA! You get all of that - and so much more - as low as $60 per month! Check out our Membership page to find the membership right for you!
