What’s up 👋? Imagine traveling 20,000 km from Buenos Aires to Henan Province on the Chinese mainland just to learn the art of Shaolin Kung Fu. That’s exactly what Argentine monk Jorge Gabriel Buzzi did. His passion for these legendary moves has taken him back and forth across the globe, and now he’s on a mission to share the 1,500-year-old legacy in Latin America.
Shaolin Kung Fu isn’t just about epic fighting scenes—it’s a deep cultural spirit rooted in the Shaolin Temple’s traditions. Recognized as a national-level intangible cultural heritage, it blends meditation, discipline, and super-cool martial arts tech (think lightning-fast kicks and gravity-defying jumps). 🥋
After multiple stints training in Henan, Jorge founded a school where locals can dive into Kung Fu basics and discover the history behind each form. His classes are a mix of mindful breathing techniques and classic Shaolin routines—perfect for boosting focus and fitness, whether you’re a student juggling exams or a young professional managing a busy schedule.
For us in South and Southeast Asia, martial arts are part of the daily vibe—from Taekwondo pop-up sessions in Jakarta to Silambam meetups in Chennai. Jorge’s journey shows how cultural heritage can bridge continents, inspiring anyone to chase their own passion project—be it through TikTok tutorials, weekend workshops, or VR training apps.
