Train the body, mind, and spirit
Our Vision
Living in New Orleans, we crave positive spaces to nourish our bodies, minds, and spirits. At New Orleans Shaolin, we utilize the ancient wisdom of Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi to empower individuals to cultivate strength, mindfulness, and a healthy, balanced life.
Our Practice
Our unique blend of practices combines traditional martial arts with internal cultivation, emphasizing precise movements, controlled energy, and mindful presence. We offer two primary programs:
