Why Shaolin Roots Matter


Shaolin Roots defines the framework behind New Qi.

Rather than isolated exercises or generalized wellness trends, New Qi is structured on a traditional internal training system developed through Shaolin culture.

This foundation ensures that each practice follows a coherent method — grounded, progressive, and internally consistent.


Lineage before technique
Tradition establishes the order and logic of practice — not just movement.

Internal training before performance
The focus is cultivation, not display or trend-based fitness.

Structure before results
Progress emerges from consistency, alignment, and internal regulation.

From Shaolin Roots to Modern Practice

How ancient disciplines become a living method inside New Qi

Shaolin Roots are not presented as history, philosophy, or cultural reference alone.

Within New Qi, these roots are translated into a living training system — one that can be practiced consistently, safely, and deeply in modern life.

The purpose is continuity: allowing time-tested internal disciplines to remain effective, relevant, and embodied today


Zen provides the internal compass

of the practice.

In New Qi, Zen is not limited to seated meditation.
It shapes attention, breath awareness, and mental regulation within movement itself.

This ensures training develops clarity and calm — not tension or performance-driven effort.


Shaolin Kung Fu provides the structural framework for internal training

Posture, alignment, sequencing, and disciplined repetition create a body that is stable, connected, and efficient.

In New Qi, physical form is not about combat or display — it is the container that allows internal work to take root safely.



Shaolin Medicine informs how the body adapts, recovers, and remains balanced over time

Principles of circulation, regulation, and internal harmony guide training intensity, pacing, and progression.

This prevents overexertion and ensures practice supports long-term health rather than short-term results.


Together, these three disciplines form the foundation of Shaolin Roots — not as separate traditions, but as an integrated method.


The Three Foundations of Shaolin Roots

Three integrated disciplines that form the foundation of the New Qi method.

Zen Practice

Mental clarity and internal regulation

Zen training establishes stillness, awareness, and internal regulation.

In New Qi, Zen is not separate from movement —

it guides attention, breath awareness, and internal calm throughout each practice.

Shaolin Kung Fu

Structure, alignment, and embodied discipline

Shaolin Kung Fu provides the structural framework behind internal training.
In New Qi, it is not practiced as combat or performance, but as a method of posture, sequencing, and disciplined repetition — allowing the body to become stable, connected, and efficient.

Shaolin Medicine

Balance, recovery, and sustainability

Shaolin Medicine informs how the body recovers, adapts, and remains balanced over time.

Principles of circulation, regulation, and internal harmony ensure that training supports long-term health rather than short-term intensity.

From Foundations to Practice

From Shaolin Roots to structured training inside New Qi

Shaolin Roots are not meant to be studied as history or theory.
They are already translated into a structured method inside New Qi.

You do not need prior knowledge of Shaolin, Zen, or Chinese medicine.
The work has been refined, integrated, and organized for modern practice.

This is where tradition becomes usable.
This is where training begins.
