Shaolin Temple UK, Buddhist temple in North London, England
The Shaolin Temple UK building features training halls, meditation spaces, and areas dedicated to martial arts practice between Tufnell Park and Archway stations.
Established in 2000 by Shaolin monk Shi Yanzi, this temple operates under direct authorization from the Abbot of the original Shaolin Temple in China.
The temple maintains Chinese Buddhist traditions through instruction in Gong Fu, Qigong, meditation practices, Mandarin language courses, and calligraphy sessions.
Students begin with a three-month preparation course focusing on fundamental skills before advancing to specialized training in martial arts and meditation techniques.
Over 10,000 practitioners have trained at this official extension of the 1,500-year-old Shaolin Temple, including martial arts cinema actor Andrew Koji.
