Shū Jiàn, literally ‘book and sword’, also signifies ‘learning and practicing’, and stands for the intense relationship between culture and martial arts. Chinese philosophy teaches us that learning without practicing, and practicing without learning are fruitless endeavors that will not lead to success.

In 2005, a small group of students founded this association with the blessing of Master Chen Shihong in order to expand their training possibilities, in a relaxed and enjoyable training atmosphere.
This friendship and cooperation with Master Chen’s Austrian Chinese Wushu Association provides students with an extensive training schedule, and offers them the possibility to train in various Chinese martial arts. Students of either association will receive discounts for the other school’s courses, as well as for seminars and training camps.
