2026 Shaolin Intensive Kung Fu Annual Camp
Seven Days of Ancient Movements, Freedom of Body and Mind, and the Guide of Zen Tai Kong
In Conjunction with The Great Pause • July 9-15, 2026
Dear Friends,
This camp is not about mastering techniques. It is not about accumulating forms. It is not about defending or attacking.
This camp is about freedom.
Freedom of the body. Freedom of the mind. Freedom from the Old OS. Freedom to explore inner space.
And at the heart of this camp is the Great Pause — the principle of emptying the mind to see beyond appearances, beyond conditioning, beyond the illusions of the past.
Before any movement, before any form, before any practice — we pause. We empty the mind. We observe without judgment. We approach every sensation as if for the first time. This is the guide of Zen Tai Kong — the invisible inner observation dimension that underlies all practice.
- The observer and the observed are one.
- There is no separation between body, mind, and cosmos.
- True freedom is not achieved — it is unveiled.

Overview
The Shaolin Intensive Kung Fu Annual Camp is held concurrently with the Great Pause (June 19–27, 2026). This camp is designed for instructors, advanced students, and dedicated practitioners who seek to deepen their embodiment of the New OS through traditional warrior training.
While the Great Pause focuses on the inner space of stillness and medibreath, the Shaolin Camp focuses on the dynamic expression of that inner space through movement, martial arts, and physical resilience. Together, they form a complete circle—Yin and Yang, stillness and motion, inner observation and outer expression.
All participants in the Shaolin Camp will also participate in the Coaches and Instructors track of the Great Pause, including:
- 999 Medibreath Cosmic Ecosystem
- Zen Tai Gong
- Bone Marrow Cleansing protocols
- Daily Great Pause practice

The LQC Connection – Leaps of Quantum Consciousness
The Shaolin Intensive Kung Fu Annual Camp is not just physical training. It is a Leap of Quantum Consciousness (LQC) in motion.
LQC Principle Shaolin Application
Quantum leap Breaking through plateaus in form and skill
Observer effect Watching yourself move; self-correction in real time
Non-locality Feeling connection with training partners beyond physical contact
Coherence Moving in sync with the group; unified energy field
Wu Wei Effortless action in sparring and forms
Superposition Holding multiple possibilities before each movement
High Performance in Flow
The Shaolin Warrior operates in flow state—where action and awareness merge, where time disappears, where the movement moves itself.
Flow Indicator Training Evidence
Clear goals Mastering a specific form or technique
Immediate feedback Coach correction; mirror; partner response
Balance challenge/skill Pushing limits without breaking
Action-awareness merge Moving without thinking
Loss of self-consciousness Total immersion in the practice
Altered time perception Hours feel like minutes
As Freedom of Movement
Beyond Body and Mind – The Unbounded Space
With the guide of Zen Tai Kong, we go beyond body and mind. We go beyond traditional practices, beyond fixed forms, beyond the illusions of security.
We explore the inner space — the spiral of great void, the infinite wisdom of the Tao, the quantum consciousness of the cosmos.
We cut through the Old OS with the Diamond Wisdom Sword — all illusions of separation, scarcity, fear, and conflict.
We shift from 1.0 to 2.0 — a new humanity, a new civilization, a new OS.

Testimonials
“I came to the US Open and moved to Alabama trained in Sanshou from Coach Shawn Liu, All my Sanshou started from Liu (DeRu) and the rest is history.”
6 years later after Cung Le’s entrance in to Shaolin Intensive Training Camp, two young boys came with their father who practiced Kung Fu all his life. The boys turned out to stay with Shaolin Institute camps for the next 15 years. Both of them are part of the Shaolin Institute SWAT team members and both of them have won a few national and international tournaments and are some of the best amateur fighters in the US. Both of them became police men and both of them were selected to perform and teach on the TV series, ” Into Badlands”. This is their have to say on Father’s day 2015:
“Shifu! Your teachings saved me and my brother from a very negative and dangerous environment and helped mold us into the men we are.”
Dwight came far away from Texas to the Shaolin summer training camp with his two cousins, from Texas Andrew and Oliver who had been enrolled previously at the Shaolin summer camp. They had enjoyed the eastern way of disciplined training along with many other benefits such as weight loss and Kung Fu self-protection skills. This is what Dwight wrote:
“I am finished with the Shaolin Warrior Summer Training Camp. It has been an enlightening experience that I will carry on past here. In six weeks I’ve lost 48 pounds and dropped 11% of my body fat. On top of that, I have brought my blood pressure down from 230/160 to 120/60! “
“I’ve also sharpened many skills such as my flexibility, endurance, concentration, will-power, strength, and discipline among many, many others. Under the training of such qualified and experienced people, I feel I have been given a unique experience to boost my learning while being immersed in the meanings.”
“I’ve taken every class and they are all masterfully designed to fit any person. All in all, I have been taught a new lifestyle that I will carry on with me for the rest of my life.” — Dwight Brisbin
