Tradition as a path to empowerment
The Shaolin Arts Center is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization dedicated to the study, practice, and preservation of traditional Chinese martial arts — in particular the Fu Jow Pai (Tiger Claw) system. Through structured training, cultural education, and community programming, we help students develop discipline, resilience, and lifelong physical health.
We believe martial arts training is for everyone. Our programs serve youth, adults, and seniors across Staten Island and the greater New York area, regardless of experience level or financial means.
