Shaolin Kung Fu isn't taught at a dojo. There is a style called "shaolin-do" which claims it's lineage is tied to the shaolin temple. I do train with one of the monks that have settled down here in the states that has spent 20 years learning at the Shaolin Temple in China. So make sure you do some thorough research before plunging into a school that is claiming shaolin. Not all of shaolin is "northern long fist" or wushu. Traditional shaolin still has its place. There is a difference. Due to the circumstances that the Shaolin Temple is in today, wushu is part of the curriculum that is taught there....but not all of it is wushu. There is lots of information on the web out there so research!!!

Shaolin Temple today is still in existence and instructs quality Kung Fu. Excellent martial arts masters still emerge from the modern Shaolin temple (martial monks). Don't fall into the void that monks are poor and 100% buddhist monastery type. The martial monks at the temple today are mainly disciples with the main focus on studying kung fu and of course buddhism. The thing you have to remember is that China is a communist country so naturally the government is going to play a role in what is "taught" these days. Traditional Shaolin still exists, however, you just have to dig a little deeper than what's put out there. You also have to remember Shaolin Temple has been "exploited" throughout history by its own society so there is no recorded "lineage" and the roots are difficult to trace. Also the way Shaolin Temple is run today is more of a "college" oriented atmosphere. Students that are accepted live and train there and basically get a "degree" in kung fu. Wushu is part of the training curriculum but not all of shaolin is wushu. I train with one monks in Houston. There are now 4 shaolin schools taught "monks" in the Houston area. The monk I train with does an excellent job of separating wushu from traditional. Anyone living in the Houston area is more than welcome to stop by or visit the link in my profile for more info on the school.
