Halfway around the world, Argentine monk Jorge Gabriel Buzzi has built a bridge between Latin America and the ancient heart of martial arts. In Buenos Aires, his school has become a gathering place for eager learners who practice Shaolin Kung Fu, experiencing the discipline, mindfulness, and cultural depth of this time-honored art.
Buzzi has traveled multiple times to the Chinese mainland, covering roughly 20,000 kilometers roundtrip to immerse himself in the routines of the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province. Each journey deepens his practice and feeds his mission to bring authentic training back home.
Shaolin Kung Fu traces its roots over 1,500 years to the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province. Designated as a national-level intangible cultural heritage, it weaves together martial techniques, philosophy, and meditation. Buzzi's journey shows how a tradition born in the 5th century now inspires a global community.
Through disciplined training, Buzzi aims to share more than just fighting techniques. He emphasizes the art's focus on balance, control, and respect – qualities that resonate with a new generation of changemakers, entrepreneurs, and creative thinkers across borders.
As interest in immersive travel and cultural exchange grows, Buzzi's school attracts travelers and digital nomads seeking authentic experiences. His story demonstrates how passion for heritage can spark real-world connections, making Shaolin Kung Fu a living tradition that transcends distance.
