The goal of the websites KungFuLegacy.org and TaiChiLegacy.org is to continue extending our reach by spreading the Eastern philosophies in English speaking countries. These websites are intended to assist the public in finding more information about the legacy of these wonderful practices and the ways to benefit from them in everybody’s own local areas. To accomplish this, we promote free school directories, information about styles, events, magazines, seminars and, generally speaking, the creation of a community of practitioners interested in learning more from different masters and styles and exchanging opinions in an environment of respect and cordiality.
Mexico Shaolin Temple (About Us)

The Mexico Shaolin Temple was founded on October 28, 2004 by master Shi Heng Yi (Daniel Corona) and his master, Sifu Shi Yan Ming, an authentic 34th Generation Shaolin Monk, who has become famous worldwide through his appearances on the Discovery and National Geographic Channels. In 2007, the Temple was officially recognized as an International Yang Cheng Fu Tai Chi Chuan Center by Master Yang Jun, 6th generation descendant of the Yang family, famous for their style of Tai Chi Chuan. In 2008, the Temple became affiliated with the Peng You Taiji Quan Association, founded by Master Peng You Lian.
The Mexico Shaolin Temple currently represents the following organizations in Mexico and Central America: the USA Shaolin Temple, the International Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan Association and the Peng You Taiji Quan Association. Its mission is to spread and practice Chan Buddhism, Martial Arts, Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan, Qi Gong and Eastern cultural activities in Mexico.

The Mexico Shaolin Temple keeps a very active schedule of seminars and activities with the best Tai Chi and Kung Fu masters in different styles and branches. This way, we seek to expand and enrich the practice of Martial Arts. We also have an exchange program with Shi Yan Ming and Yang Jun’s students in other parts of the world such as Vienna, South Africa, Chile, Argentina, China and New York.

The Temple’s work has been recognized by dozens of media in Mexico, the US and Latin America, as well as by several movie and television celebrities. You can browse through our gallery, Articles, and Media Coverage sections. Among our tasks is also the spreading and teaching of Chinese traditions, such as the Lion Dance, the Chinese New Year and Wushu. To accomplish this, we use several types of media to take the teachings everywhere; we have a publishing house that prints books and newsletters and videos on DVD and digital material, among others. We also have regular paid classes and free classes for the community.

The students have the chance to take part in national and international events, which allow them to exchange experiences with their fellow students from other countries and learn directly from the great masters in their visits.
