Shifu Chao trained at the Song Shan Shaolin temple from young age, and will help you reach your full martial potential. You also have the opportunity to apply the theory in application drills in addition to all of your mabu, kicks, and forms. On the money side, I sometimes travel a lot for my work, so I would say this school is very understanding of these real world situations and extends out the term of your contract an equivalent amount of time, so you don't "lose" the training time on your contract. The class format - for good reason - is not like in China, where every student (could be hundreds or more) is learning the same forms together (the forms here are organized by belt level). As a result, the correct mechanics of the form are taught first, then technically refined over time once those have been demonstrated properly. In this way, all students can progress without taking up the whole class for just one form instruction. Also, very importantly, Shifu is always watching your body mechanics, stance, hand/feet position and work, point toe, etc. every step of the way and will call it out if incorrect or needs adjustment. This continuous feedback loop and attention to detail is critical for student's improvement. If you are interested in learning the Shaolin arts, look no further than Denver Shaolin Kung fu Academy. You will not regret it. Prepare to have fun!

I have studied many disciplines…read morein several different countries over the last 30 years, and this is by far the best experience I've had. The teaching is authentic and exacting, while also being approachable. The master and instructors are great to learn with and really take the extra time to make sure you the student get the most from the teaching experience. My wife and I also appreciate the sense of community and friendship that the master fosters between students. If you are looking for a new challenging workout and the chance to learn from an authentic shaolin teacher I would highly recommend you check out this school.

As I have continued with my Kung Fu practice at Shaolin Hung Mei, I have noticed myself having more resolve to make solid decisions in my business and personal life in parallel with my progress in my Kung Fu practice and for that I am deeply grateful to the school. SHMKF is a place for people who are ready to challenge themselves in all aspects of their life and to keep growing as a person.

As a parent, I value the discipline and adherence to tradition. As a woman and mother who is not very tall or big, I am learning how to leverage my body mechanics and size in my practice, and I feel more confidence and security for myself and my teen daughter. I am also very impressed by the dedication of my instructors and classmates who have commited to learning an art that is both physically and mentally challenging.

There are a number of good reasons to attend these classes:…read more 1) like a lot of martial arts classes, a person's health and confidence are expanded 2) unlike a lot of martial arts classes, a person of any age can learn and benefit 3) we learn about internal healing side-by-side with attack/defense methods 4) Shrfu (meaning "teacher") is very skilled at both group training and individual training 5) class style varies over the course of a week, so we students get a lot of good exposure- I especially like Fridays, which close the week with a healthy dose of meditation and breathing 6) we learn some Chinese, which is totally cool! I took Hsing-I as a one-semester class about 15 years ago, and I absolutely fell in love with the style, philosophy, and simplicity. If I had stayed where I was, I'd have stuck with it, but I moved away shortly thereafter. Since then, I have moved around the country quite a lot, and I looked around for a Hsing-I school very often. I finally found one here in Denver that met my needs- affordability and good quality. I could not be more pleased with what we are taught and how it is taught. Anyone can, and should, learn and benefit from these classes.

Students are reminded that anyone can take a few classes of Kung Fu, but taking classes is not the same as studying. The study of Kung Fu truly takes years, even a life-time of devoted study and practice. On the other hand, it doesn't hurt - except for a little - to gain strength and flexibility for one's health and protection, and to gain some familiarity with forms for the sake of self-defense. The classroom is well-lit, large, use of space is economical, a small office sits off from the classroom proper, but with a good line-of-sight to the students. The instructors are "scary-good." I mean that as a compliment: they are knowledgeable, practiced, and committed. Practice comes relatively easy, knowledge takes years, commitment is up to the individual. The instructors do well at motivating, encouraging, correcting, and challenging. White Dragon Martial Arts offers a good start for anyone who wants to get a little exercise, tone their body, improve flexibility, lose fat, gain muscle, but especially and primarily it is ideal for the one who wants to study the science and art of Kung Fu seriously. (I think Greeley's White Dragon opened July or August 2013.)
