The main principle of SMAA.R is keeping triune: to bring up in harmony spiritual intellectual and physical basis in a human being.
The main aim is to pass true shaolin tradition with its whole diversity. Secrets of martial arts, traditional east medicine and self-upbringing. We only learn traditional types of wushu and we aren’t interested in sportive wushu, its modern variations.
Wushu isn’t a kind of sports for us: it’s a doctorine, no gymnastics but the way of upbringing.
