Shaolin Temple Quanfa Institute (STQI Toronto) 少林寺拳法学院, the downtown Toronto school for the traditional and authentic Shaolin and Chinese arts was founded in the fall of 2011 by Shi Chang Dao 释常道, a 35th Generation Shaolin Disciple of 34th Generation Shaolin Monk Master Shi Guo Song. Its aim is to improve the mental and physical health of individuals through the 1,500 years of cultivated wisdom. Our school offers Shaolin classes and instruction for adults and children in Shaolin Kung Fu including hand and weapon taolu forms, Qi Gong Ba Duan Jin, Sanda Chinese Boxing, Shaolin Meditation, and Shaolin Chan (Zen) philosophy. Chinese cultural classes include Er Hu Chinese Fiddle, Dizi Chinese Bamboo Flute, Spoken Mandarin, and workshops for Chinese Calligraphy, Chinese Painting, and Kung Fu Tea Ceremony. Our school also offers other cultural workshops such as Sanskrit, OM Choir, and Yoga. The downtown Toronto school branch is also connected with the STQI Markham and STQI Laurentides schools, as well as the Canadian registered charity called Shaolin Luohan Temple, all of which are overseen by Master Shi Guo Song. Our Shaolin network offers its students and members the benefits of inter-school gatherings at major events, competitions, and tournaments throughout the year. STQI Toronto hosts several annual public events such as the Shaolin Retreat Camping in the summer and the downtown Summer Camp for children. Shaolin Temple Quanfa Institute (STQI) was founded near the original Shaolin Temple in China in 1996 by Master Shi Guo Song. Its aim is to spread traditional Shaolin culture and martial arts. In just a few years it grew to over 1,000 active students.

What an experience at the Henan Shaolin Martial Arts Academy! 🇨🇦🇨🇳

Our Master, Shi Chang Dao, and nearly 60 STQI Downtown Toronto students spent two days training at the birthplace of Shaolin Kung Fu!

From intense training sessions in Tiger Fist, Snake Fist, and Mantis Fist to sharing demonstrations with the Shaolin instructors, it has been an unforgettable journey of bridging cultures through martial arts.

Whether 12 years into the journey like Luka, or finding a second home like Winston, Shaolin Kung Fu continues to strengthen our bodies and cultivate our minds across all generations.

Graceful. Powerful. Centered. 🌿

Welcome to Part 2 of our 2026 Toronto Dragon Festival series, where we highlight the beauty of Shaolin Tai Chi and Qigong! 🐉

While Shaolin Kung Fu displays speed and explosive force, Tai Chi and Qigong showcase controlled strength, posture, and mindful breathing. Practiced for centuries to improve vitality, joint health, and focus, these internal discipline forms were a crowd favourite at this year's festival.

Whether you are looking to relieve stress, build core stability, or deepen your martial arts journey, STQI provides traditional and comprehensive training for all levels.

"Train the body. Strengthen the mind. Cultivate the character."

For Shi Guo Song, Shaolin Kung Fu has always been about more than physical techniques. It is a path of self-improvement—one that teaches us to overcome our own challenges, support one another, and strive to become better versions of ourselves.

His vision continues to guide STQI today, inspiring students of all ages to grow through the teachings of traditional Shaolin culture.

🙏 Thank you for being part of this journey.

Have you ever considered that your mind is not a single voice — but a partnership? 🧘

Join Master Dao for our next Meditation Workshop exploring how to better understand and work with your “Subconscious Partner” — the part of the mind that stores memory, shapes perception, and influences how you think, feel, and act every day.

In Shaolin philosophy, clarity of mind is supported by structure. This is where the Shaolin Virtues come in — a practical system of guiding principles that help you make better choices in daily life, strengthen self-awareness, and align thoughts with action.

When the mind is calm and guided by these virtues, confusion decreases and better decisions naturally follow. Through guided Shaolin meditation practice, you will learn how to quiet internal noise, build emotional balance, and reconnect with a more grounded way of thinking and living.

No prior meditation experience is required. This session builds upon Shaolin meditation teachings and is open to both new and returning participants.

Join us in-person in downtown Toronto or online and take the next step in your Shaolin meditation journey. 🙏
