After only a little more than a month working with my fellow students and Sifu Ely, I feel healthier, stronger, and younger -- mentally and physically. Sifu and all of the students are incredibly dedicated, patient, and helpful, yet the classes are appropriately challenging. If you don't leave exhausted -- and smiling -- I'd be surprised. If you want to learn traditional Ving Tsun Kung Fu of the Ip Man lineage alongside the most supportive and helpful Sifu and students you could possibly ask for, this is your school.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced, young or old, this academy teaches authentic Shaolin kung…read morefu, fist forms, weapons forms, kickboxing, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and more! 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!

The teaching is authentic and exacting, while also being approachable.

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.

Great group, friendly non intimidating and they teach techniques that work. I say techniques that work based on personal experience. I was very much into the martial arts when I was in middle school. A decade later, after not doing anything in the martial arts, while in college I had to defend myself twice. The same type of technique worked and I ended both attacks without having to throw a single punch. I benefit from exercising in a social class environment. In my 30's I tried to find a martial arts school that I could enjoy going to. Many of the schools I briefly tried were either too strict or intense. I feel lucky to have found this school. I'm now in my 50's and they are mindful of who I am and what I can do. The classes have young to old and everybody fits in, has a good work out and an enjoyable time. Most classes, I find myself being taught high ranking members that have been coming to the school for decades. Very respectful of all members and understanding that our western culture is different from Japan.
