Taijiquan (Tai Chi), and Buddhism.

has been well received with thousands of visitors at our website each

Thank you
for visiting us.
Shaolin Chi
Mantis is a traditional Chinese Gongfu school that includes Buddhism
and 'closed-door' teachings. This school, which you are visiting now,
is difficult to enroll in and difficult to stay enrolled in. Shaolin
Chi Mantis teaches Chinese weaponry and requires loyalty and dedication.
Our student
motto: "Truth, wisdom, and courage," requires our students
to protect and serve their communities.
Our affiliate
school, Tai Chi Youth, is a nonprofit organization with minimal entrance
requirements and scholarships for youth at risk.
Shaolin Chi
Mantis will accept applications from all aged students. Full membership
in Shaolin Chi Mantis requires passing a difficult Initiate Belt Test.
If a student passes the Initiate Requirements and submits other traditional
requirements, they can be accepted into SCM through a Buddhist Initiation
and Naming Ceremony held once a year. This Initiation Ceremony also
includes the traditional Buddhist head shaving (boys and girls).
Shaolin Chi
Mantis is for the very dedicated students seeking both spirituality
and Gongfu.
Tai Chi Youth
requires no initiation or head shaving. TCY is nondenominational and
has programs taught in elementary schools and senior retirement homes.
For a TCY
student application form: 
The
Shaolin Chi Mantis CALENDARS
will keep you posted on our activities, classes and seminars.
Enjoy
your visit here, stay as long as you need to, and,
"May Buddha bless you".
