Nam yang KungFu Retreat
Master
your Self!
Unleash the hero within you
Walk tall, feel powerful, look the world in the eye!
Feel proud of yourself and inspire others to do likewise.
‘It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.’
Buddha..
BECOME MORE:
UNLEASH Your
Power WITHIN
When you develop your body structure properly, your mind and your breath work so much better. And you project body language that commands respect.
When you train body and breath together your voice gains true quality and power. You gain the ability to motivate, inspire and command.
When you train your eyes properly, your eye contact becomes one of your strongest assets. Your gaze says more than a thousand words.
When you know that you can handle conflict, your confidence knows no limits. Your self esteem becomes rock solid.
Shaolin Kung Fu can help you stand tall, gain confidence, and conquer!
Kung Fu has a track record of turning ordinary people into extraordinary people. It works. And no matter how the world changes, it will continue to work because it is based on the most fundamental realities of human psychology and physiology.
Kung fu has worked for generations of people and it can work for you. It will give you the tools to turn your dreams into reality, to manifest your destiny.
Now is your time to rise and to inspire others to do likewise.
‘The Master simply reminds
people of who they have always been’.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching.

What is in it for us? We want to see our arts and our Kung Fu family develop and prosper over time, to pass the gap from generation to generation, rather than to die out like so many ancient arts have done.

HOW IT WORKS
Flexible arrangements
We realise that in the post pandemic world maximum flexibility is important for many people. So we no longer ask for advanced booking. You buy a flexible pass to the Kung Fu Retreat and can use it whenever you want.
It’s that easy. No need to worry that you will lose money if travel is disrupted.
Here’s how it works:
You buy a pass. We recommend you select one of our premium packages, which come with a pass and some extras but you can choose any length of stay if you want.
When you want to reserve a place, contact us to make sure we have availability.
You can change your dates, as many times as you like, so long as you give us 7 days’ notice.
If you prefer, you can split your stay into a number of shorter stay – for instance if you book 10 weeks you could do a 4 week stay then 2 x 3 week stays.
When your pass runs out, simply buy a new one. 🙂

Master yourself:
become something more.
We train body, mind, emotion, spirit and soul. We strengthen our tendon until our body is held together as a single springy mass filled with energy just waiting to explode out. We stretch to open our bodies, open our minds, to straighten our posture and walk tall. We harden our fists until they can smash through concrete. We sharpen our reflexes until we move like lightening. We push through pain to strengthen our character. We persevere and endure to discipline our minds. And through perseverance comes success!
Master

TESTIMONIALS
What People
Are Saying About Us
When I decided to do something like this I weighed up my options. For me initially I had two conflicting ideas and they were to do something physical like Mai Thai and boxing or to go somewhere where I could ease the mind and learn how to relax e.g. a meditation retreat. This … offers both. Kung fu gives you the opportunity to relax the mind through breathing, stretching and meditating as well as teaching you how to fight and defend yourself…
Athos10

This program shall definitely impart patience, stability, raised self-esteem and confidence and this is what even I am craving for. This course I feel is not just martial arts but it’s one with SILENT AGGRESSIVENESS meaning that this course probably imparts within us a calmness by meditation along with aggressiveness that may be needed if any need arises. I would honestly recommended to go ahead and explore the online course and make the best out of it.
Dipti Kothari
Student
“If like me you’re getting up there in years and you may think Kung Fu is for young people only, think again. Sure you may physical challenges that comes with an aging body, but Kung Fu is so much more than a physical activity. It has truly given me a whole new way of viewing every aspect of my life. I strongly recommend it for any age! They say all you need to do to be successful at it is to start and then not stop! Sounds like a good plan to me! Give it a try! I promise you will come away a different person.
Gregory
Student
I remember my first meeting with Master lain. He asked me what I was looking to get out of this. I said that I wanted to get in better shape and maybe calm my mind down a bit. I have done this and so much more. I’ve learned that Kung Fu is a way of life. It’s everything I do, the way I breathe, the way I walk, the way I interact with others, even the way I think…My girlfriend asked me how Nam Yang and Kung fu had changed me. I paused, and then said, “I’m calm now. Truly calm.” And that is the biggest thing that Nam Yang has given to me.
Michael Worthman
Student
Nam Yang Global is a great way to meet new people while learning the ancient art of Shaolin Tiger Crane Kung Fu. Our community has strong bonds and teachings are to the highest of standards preserving the old ways of the ancient arts…I highly recommend Master lain & the Nam Yang Global family.
The online membership gives access to a vast amount of video footage and its presented in an easy to follow manner. It has a great amount of knowledge, history and teaching with easy access. It is well structured and easy to follow.
Simon Little
Student
You can learn so much from Master lain. During tea time, I took advantage of the vast knowledge he had, as he talked through eastern philosophy, religion, Kung Fu and its origins, self-improvement and topics promoting a healthy mind, body and soul.
This was invaluable advice, and has actually really helped me.
