Shaolin Temple Academy
Shaolin Temple Academy is a Chinese Martial Arts club based in Eltham, London. The academy was formed in February 2009 and is officially affiliated with the Shaolin Temple in China. The Academy invests all efforts to each individual student and gives people full encouragement by teaching respect, martial morals and training to be the best. The students of the academy range from the age of 4 up to the age of 80, and there are classes that cater for all ages and abilities.
The Academy helps the community's health, physical and mental well being and provides confidence to all children. It also promotes health preservation to the older generation with the practice of the ancient art of Tai Chi.
The Academy aims to help combat youth gang culture and street crime by encouraging youths at an early age to find a sense of identity in our Martial Arts Academy. We want to be able to help tackle child poverty and under-achievement and create a huge sporting legacy through Chinese Martial Arts.
The Cash 4 Clubs sports grant of £1000 was awarded to the club to enable them to purchase training equipment, including mats which will make it a safer place to train.
"We are very grateful and very happy receiving the grant from Cash 4 Clubs! By receiving this grant, this means our academy can grow to help and attract new students to train to a higher level and at a faster pace, allowing students to excel. This allows us to put the students forward towards national and international competitions and to represent Great Britain in worldwide performances." Shifu Shi Yan Kun, Academy Master
