From the reviews

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.

★★★★★ — Jeremy, Aug 2013

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.

★★★★★ — E, Mar 2016

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

★★★★★ — Tee, Dec 2017

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

Your first kickboxing class at Shaolin Warrior Academy

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
