Shaolin Warrior Academy

It was our first time there and my son seemed to really enjoy it and the other kids there where kind.

Kids love it. Attending for over a year. Highly recommended! Shifu is very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. Extremely good with kids. Goes above and beyond caring about teaching shaolin/kung fu. Pictures are of belt ceremony and performance. April 30th 2022.

One of the first group of monks from the real Shaolin Temple to practice outside china

Master Shi Yan Hong is great. I’m glad my son is learning from the best! A 34th Generation Disciple of Shaolin Temple.

Both my kids ages 5 and 9 love it here. Tried other places but we decided on here and love it. Everyone is nice even the parents. Kids learn respect and the traditional shaolin Kung fu. It is the real thing. Low prices and no contract. This place was the only place we have signed up for where I DID NOT feel pressured to do more days, take tests, pay for belts ( like many Taekwondo places) you come because you want to and you are committed. I would also ignore the other negative reviews. It’s old school but definitely not abuse.They’re probably just “helicopter” parents .

Ignore all the negative comments. Being strict and mean helps you learn more and grow more discipline.

This place is horrible. I will be telling you my experiences here as well as what I saw.First off, he hits your child. He hits them with sticks, his hands, or his kicks. He often hits you without even telling you what you did wrong. I have been hit by him many times and not once has he given a reasonable explanation about what I did wrong. Also, the things he teaches us are not really useful if you are in a real fight. He also doesn't teach you how to properly fight. Once, I saw him pulling on a little girls hair and it made her cry. Now the weird thing was that the parents did not do anything. They just laughed and took her home. It seems like none of the parents care if their child gets hit. The worst thing I saw him do was not letting his student drink water. Not only did he not let him drink water, he took the kid into the back room and closed the door. I don't know exactly what shifu did to the student but when the boy came out, he looked traumatized. Another reason why you shouldn't step foot in this place is because all the things that you learn here are useless if you are in a real fight. For example, in sparing, he teaches you the same useless things over and over again. You learn the same punches and kicks every time you spar. He also doesn't let you hit the person you are sparring in the face. This is bad because if you are in a real fight, you will not know how to block your face. When I first sparred, I accidentally hit the person in the face. Shifu then punched me in the head for doing that. If he says that we can't hit each other in the head, then why would you hit us in the head? Also, he teaches us forms that are useless in the real world. All he really wants is your money. For example, he gives you a weapon in class, and you have no choice but to take it. The next time you or your parents pay for the month, he tells you that you have pay for the weapon. The weapons are very cheap as well, but cost as much as 50 dollars. You have no choice but to pay it. He also invades your privacy. If you are absent for a week, he will ask you where you were, then he usually hits you. Why should I tell you where I was last week? It's none of you business! Have you noticed that he shows photos of just him? That's because the children in his Kung Fu are not happy. Look, the bottom line is that just because you see a Shaolin monk that is from china, that doesn't mean he is the nicest person in the world, or teaches good Kung Fu, it can mean that he is a business man that wants nothing but your money. I would recommend that you go to other martial arts like Karate, Jui Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, and anything but this place. In other Martial Arts, you can learn how to defend your self in a real fight. So, if you want your child abused mentally and physically, come here. Otherwise, I would recommend that you stay away from this place. If you come to this location, you are not going to see Kung Fu, you are going to see children getting hit by a man that doesn't deserve to be called a human being.

My kid immediately took immense interest in learning shaolin kungfu after his free trial class. I was surprised because it was quite a workout and obviously a new sport/skill to learn. After we came home he practiced and practiced, and told us that he really wanted to take the classes. He just received his first class and again, came home and practiced some more even though he had worked hard at his first class. I am pleased to see that he liked the challenges of learning new skills. I've also never seen him so focused in a class.

I thought my kid was the only one got hit by this guy. So this is how they teach kids in China, not here man. Kids should learn confidence and descipline - not abused and total obedient. I can see fear in the kids' eyes when they practiced or taking tests. This guy is only into making money. They will not learn more unless they take private lessons, Summer camp,... Other sports much better for my kid.

I have trained here for the past year. I have been training in various styles of martial arts for the better part of the last ten years.I cannot say enough good things about the Shaolin Warrior Academy. The training here is top notch. It is a rare treat to be able to train with a 34th Generation Shaolin Warrior Monk from the Shaolin Temple. It is also a rare treat to train at a school where the Master (or Shifu) teaches full time and loves what they do.Shifu embodies the martial arts. As a teacher, Shifu is patient, effective and attentive. He is understanding and respectful of natural limits, abilities and skill levels. He knows how to work with different people while still being able to build each individual to be there best.The environment is great! The prices are affordable. There are classes for adults! (with only adults!) Which I love since I am an adult. Shifu is great with the kids classes too. This is the real deal. I wish I could get everyone I know to train with me here. Color me excited and impressed!
