Our Shaolin & Longfist (performance Wushu) coaches have expert training in Shaolin and Longfist and specialize in weapons as well as open hand forms and special performance techniques and requirements. Dasifu regularly brings in new coaches from Chinese Wushu training centers and universities where technique standards and dedication requirements are exceedingly high. Often these top notch strdents come from the Beijing Wushu team, either as former competitors or current assistant coaches.

The coaches provide expert training in the physical regimen and basic aspects of forms in the Shaolin class for both young and older children as well as for the adult students. The coashes also assist to some extent with the San Da classes when asked (most often led by the Grandmaster of the school himself).

Dasifu (Grandmaster) usually teaches fine details of technique to all students as he oversees the progress of the classes. Dasifu also personally teaches the San Da (internationalized sparring), Qi Gong (breathing moving meditation), Taiji (internal combat arts) and Tong Zi Gong classes on a regular basis, as well as occasionaly taking on private classes with individual students for a special fee.
