Best school in the area that teaches traditional Kung Fu. Both Shifu Chris and Weiwei are very friendly and experienced in the field. I miss the classes a lot, but had to give it a break due to other commitments.
Shaolin Kung Fu is the perfect blend of traditional Shaolin training, performance, technique, and fitness taught with an honor and respect for the origins of the art, as well as with a sense of belonging and family. In my 30+ year martial arts journey, I am humbled and honored to call Shaolin Kung Fu my school.
I was looking for a martial arts class in 2023 for strengthening, coordination, and self defense. As an older adult I wanted a class without the demonstrations. There are enough teachers here that I have been able to learn all the forms and exercises at my own pace. The teacher Shifu Chris studied at the Shao Lin temple in China and has first hand knowledge of Shao Lin Kung Fu. He pays a lot of attention with all the students. I have made tremendous progress physically and spiritually. Would highly recommend this class to learn martial arts and gain in fitness!
