Overall Aim of the Scholar Project:

To become Scholar-Warriors just like Shaolin Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit and Ven. Jiang Nan of the Southern Shaolin Monastery.

A Scholar-Warrior is vibrantly alive, knowing how to enjoy life to its fullest.

He/she is able to use his/her Shaolin skills in a variety of ways:

• as self-defense,
  
• for healing (of oneself and others),


• to enjoy a life of quality and fulfillment.

Objectives of the Scholar Project:

To enable individuals to learn various life skills such as:

• how to use the computer effectively for one's own business


• how to eat and enjoy food not just because it fills our stomach, but because we can appreciate its fine flavours


• how to read a book/magazine etc and not only extract information from it, but also enjoy it


• how to negotiate in such a way that one can always close with a "win-win" deal - and enjoy the whole process!

Don't miss this chance to learn how to implement Shaolin principles into your daily life!
