Shifu Shi Yan Ming (34th generation), our resident Kung Fu Master, has been training Shaolin Kung Fu since the age of 15. For the last 10 years he has been training at the Songshan Shaolin Temple, and arrived at the Shaolin Temple Australia in 2025.

He specialises in all forms of Kung Fu, having demonstrated his impressive abilities to many world leaders. He is known for his ability to do hand stands supported by only 2 fingers on each hand!

Shifu enjoys teaching the kids and helping them develop their strength, skills and flexibility. His joy for teaching is clearly infectious, as the kids love learning from him too. His youthful and fun nature on display means his classes are always filled with smiles and laughter, to accompany the impressive displays of skill from both master and students.
