Therefore, I went the whole academic system until I studied two times also for the sake of my parents.

Nevertheless, with the age of four, simultaneously, I got acquainted for the first time in my life with what is known nowadays as Shaolin Kung Fu, so meaning the practice of the martial arts.

So growing up now, as a boy, as a child, as a teenager, growing up, I always had like two areas in my life.

Academic education and then also training myself, training the body, training the martial arts.

And already having like all the stress and all the pressure of you need to deliver good grades, you need to be good at school.

Of course, it puts me under pressure.

And so sometimes this pressure, I just felt very, very naturally that,

I was looking forward, going into the training and releasing some of the energy that just like starts to build up during normal life.

And now a little bigger jump after finishing my studies now, when the time has come where I had to actually decide what am I going to do for my living, let's say.

I was just thinking, okay, what is it that I can do the best?

What is it that I feel like this world needs and that I can in a way provide?

And more than having the knowledge from the school and then studying, more than this type of knowledge.

was actually the knowledge and the experience that I had in the field of martial arts.

And also meaning to actually know how to train, regulate, adjust myself and just have some good knowledge about myself.

And this all was happening now in Germany, in Europe.

Meaning, I grew up seeing how the market, how the business world is developing.

What is it that is concerning for the people?

And more and more, that was the time where burnout was such a big topic.

And I just felt like, okay, if the people would just know about the possibilities of using your body,

literally as a medicine in order to take some effect on the psyche on the mental states they would probably be less stressed and would be able to deal better with their life whatever they are doing so and this was the starting point where i started founding the shaolin temple europe with the idea of just spreading simple simple practices
