🥋 Ready for a mind-body journey? Tomorrow, Nov 22, 2025, CGTN host Sergey Gordeev premieres The Spirit of Shaolin, taking us to the Songshan Mountains in the Chinese mainland to explore the birthplace of Shaolin kung fu.
✨ Beyond the high-flying kicks and battle choreography you see in Bollywood and martial arts films, Shaolin kung fu is deeply rooted in Chan philosophy, a form of Chinese meditation that’s all about stillness, focus, and inner peace. Think of it as the OG of today’s mindfulness apps! 🤯
🧘 From dawn rituals in misty courtyards to rigorous physical drills, Shaolin training marries mental clarity with martial prowess. It’s proof that mastering the mind can supercharge your body—whether you’re prepping for a Thai boxing match or simply de-stressing after a long day.
🎥 The documentary promises stunning footage, authentic temple life, and insider stories that unpack how an ancient martial art can teach lessons on resilience, discipline, and calm. Perfect for anyone keen on self-growth, wellness, or just epic fight scenes!
📅 Mark your calendars and catch The Spirit of Shaolin tomorrow. Whether you’re a kung fu newbie or a seasoned martial artist, this is one premiere you don’t want to miss. #MindBodyGoals
