What We Stand For

STCC provides a structured, respectful environment where students learn:

• Strong physical conditioning

Our Lineage

STCC is led by Shifu Shi Yan Gui, a direct disciple of the Shaolin Temple China, His Holiness Shi Yong Xin. With more than 30 years of experience in both internal and external arts, Shifu teaches with clarity, patience and a commitment to preserving authentic Shaolin tradition.

His training reflects the true Shaolin “Three Treasures”:
• Chan – mindfulness and clarity
• Wu – martial discipline and skill
• Yi – health, healing and long-term wellbeing

​

More Than a Martial Arts School

Our centre embraces a wide cultural heritage, including:

• Kung Fu & traditional weapons
• Tai Chi and Qigong
• Sanda (Kickboxing)
• Meditation
• Chinese cultural practices such as Calligraphy and Tea Ceremony

​

STCC welcomes students of all faiths, backgrounds and fitness levels. You don’t need experience, just an open mind and the willingness to learn.
