In the ancient traditions of Shaolin, Yan Shou Gong (YSG), or “The Art of Longevity,” emerged as a profound practice crafted by Grandmasters Chee Kim Thong and Yap Cheng Hai. Rooted in the principle that all things originate from Emptiness, YSG seamlessly blended precise movements with focused intent to cultivate Qi, or vital energy. Passed down through generations, their legacy endured through the efforts of Master Yap Boh Heong. He continued to expand upon their teachings with deep knowledge in both martial arts and NeiGong/QiGong. Today, Yan Shou Gong offers practitioners a pathway to physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual alignment, embodying the timeless wisdom of Shaolin.

I was honored to host the first YSG Seminar in Spain in March 2023, and it exceeded my expectations. Experiencing YSG firsthand showed me its potential. Having top-notch instructors like Lyndon Oudsten and Gary Rutter was crucial. I highly recommend attending such live seminars to anyone serious about learning YSG, a fascinating art.
