Lineage

We teach traditional Chinese martial arts and we can trace our lineage directly back to the legendary Shaolin Temples in China.

Grandmaster Sin Kwang Thé (1943 – present)

Practitioners receive a broad-based martial arts education that covers the entire spectrum of martial arts philosophy and technique. The material is organized so that beginning students have an opportunity to learn animal, empty hand, internal, and weapon techniques that are straightforward with readily apparent applications.

Grandmaster Sin Thé began teaching in Lexington, KY in 1964 at Transylvania University and then the University of Kentucky shortly thereafter. Over his 60+ years of instruction, he has trained multiple thousands of students who have achieved the honor of earning their black belts, and nearly 100 students who have attained the rank and title of “Master.” For more information on the history of Shaolin-Do martial arts, please visit our History page.
