Boris Layupan has had an interest in Chinese martial arts since childhood. Modern martial arts in China, Korea, and Japan can be traced back to the classical Shaolin temple. Since Boris Layupan didn't find a school he completely liked, he decided to create one from the ground up. Students will reap the benefits of a new and growing Shaolin martial arts school. Yue Chia is the original mixed martial art dating back to the 6th century AD. T'ai Chi Chuan was developed by the Shaolin monk Chang San-Feng in the 14th century AD. Bodhidarma (Damo to the Chinese or Daruma to the Japanese), the founder of the Shaolin Tradition, taught meditation, energization methods and martial arts for the goal of cultivating spiritual awareness. Meditation is the primary method used to realize this. Martial arts training and movement are secondary methods. Martial arts can be practiced to achieve the greatest good, but can be practiced for the greatest evil as well. The dark side in martial arts practice lies in the potential of violence inherent in it. The Shaolin Tradition uses the practice of meditation to keep practitioners balanced with the side of Light. The practice of martial arts can be a road to personal development, self realization, and enlightenment. But if it is practiced to gratify the ego and gain power over others, it will magnify a practitioner’s delusion of separateness and separate the practitioner farther from the experience of Love, Truth, and Spirit.
