I've been extremely fortunate to train with Shifu and Weiwei for about eight months now. While Shaolin Kung Fu isn't my first martial art, it has quickly become my favorite. The classes blend traditional Shaolin techniques with practical self-defense, and both Shifu and Weiwei are excellent instructors. Everyone is also incredibly supportive of one another, creating a welcoming and encouraging environment to learn and grow. I highly recommend Shaolin Traditional Kung Fu to anyone interested in learning martial arts!
this is a very special community and an incredible martial arts experience -- i would highly recommend to anyone. great training, great physical and mental benefits, great place to be. i had not done martial arts before starting, and have chronic back issues, and found it to be a wonderfully adaptable and welcoming environment.
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.
