Founder Hicham ‘Sham’ Essadki answers a Sufi master’s call to learn Shaolin health systems in China. He now fulfills that journey by opening his family home in Marrakech—not as a commercial retreat, but as a sanctuary for authentic transmission and sacred hospitality.
An Experience Like No Other.
We offer a holistic system born from this unique pilgrimage, integrating Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, kickboxing, and personalized meditation.
This is more than training; it is the continuation of a spiritual path.
Unblock your path and make real progress.

From Silicon Valley entrepreneur to dedicated student, Hicham ‘Sham’ Essadki answered a spiritual call. He left his businesses to study Shaolin health systems in China with his master’s blessing—and later, his Shifu’s permission to teach.
Today, fulfilling this mandate of authentic transmission, he opens his family home

Tai Chi is an ancient internal martial art taught at Koom to align the mind and body, preparing us for growth.

We work extensively with Qi Gong, a meditation based on stillness and strength.

We use a range of meditations from different philosophies to deepen our mind-body connection.

Quinna is a Chinese martial art similar to Aikido, centered on harmonizing an opponent's force to neutralize aggression without harming them.

Shaolin Kung Fu, originating from the Shaolin Temple, is a comprehensive martial art known for its rigorous physical training, acrobatic techniques, and self-defense skills.

Sanda, also known as Chinese kickboxing, is an ancestral fighting system incorporating punches, kicks, throws, grappling and floor submission techniques.
