Master Piercey is an excellent teacher, I got some private tuition to fit around my schedule. Master Piercey came to me which was perfect because I was on holiday from the U.K. so I didn't know the area well. The classes are amazing, fun and give you a good workout. I am very happy with Kung Fu For Life. They are a great school. read more

'They' will accept you if you're a beginner - or on the condition to renounce all prior training if you have martial arts / kung Fu experience. You're not allowed to train with anyone else while going to this place. Upon watching some videos of their school, I've concluded that it's not worth renouncing anything. On top of that, I received attitude from the owner. I wouldn't train at any school that held a philosophy as narrow minded as this. There are more open-minded & great schools & teachers out there. Keep looking. read more

Kung Fu For Life - Chinese Martial Arts Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I started training at Kung Fu for life a few years ago and I can safely say it's one of the best things I have ever done. The staff are incredibly helpful and honest with you and are willing to just sit down and talk with you whenever you need to do so. They are always available for help should you need it, and seem to encourage you to take things at your own pace. Every time you walk in the door you are kindly greeted by one of the instructors who seems genuinely glad that you have decided to come in that day. The school itself feels feels like a community of people who all want to see each other grow and succeed, which is a refreshing change of pace from most people's every day lives. There have been many times that I have gone into the dojo in a foul mood or after a long stressful day and thanks to the schools calming almost therapeutic feeling, I have always left feeling better than ever and prepared to greet any other challenges I may have to face. With the confidence and discipline I gained here, both my grades in school and my trust in myself to make the right call on something has gone up. In a weird way this place has almost become a home away from home. They have a very flexible class Schedule that can fit most anyone's schedule, although I can assure you once you get started here your gonna want to spend as much time here as you can! Added in with the convenience of the train station right next door and the equipment available to students, there are very few reasons not to at the very least consider Kung Fu for life to be where you either start your martial arts training, or continue it. read more

There is no condition of "renounce all prior training". I myself have trained here for years and had a "black" belt in hard style karate prior. I have never been asked to forget previous training. In fact it has enhanced quality and strength of blocks. I suggest the attitude was brought in by the prospective trainee. Yes there are other great schools out there but come experience it yourself. Always ask questions and make up your own mind. I am but a student and always will be. read more

I've trained here for about five years and love it. It's a fun, safe place to train. You will never do the same workout no matter how many classes you attend which keeps me interested. The instruction is one on one and will be tailored to your preferences. The instruction I've received to date have far exceeded my expectations. read more

Wonderful teachers and exceptional customization plans. They'll work with (or around) any injury, any skill level, and any schedule. Very patient and encouraging staff members. The other students are all passionate about their art; they'll offer tips if asked, and nobody judges anyone else. It really is a family all of it's own. Highly recommended for anyone. If you're debating the jump, go down and speak with the instructors in person. It will change your life, and help your health into a more positive direction! read more

I have trained in the style offered here for several years. Five years with Temple Kung Fu and five more years with Kung Fu For Life. The training offered to the students from the instructors is based upon quality over quantity. You cannot achieve a high level in this style without consistent hard work. The demands placed upon each student forces them to exceed what preconceived notions were already in place. I myself have stopped thinking about the next belt and allowed myself to enjoy the training, focusing on what I think I need to work on. When I am approached and asked about this style I simply state that it requires time & effort to achieve results and that it is best experienced first hand. I have no regrets as a student for attending this school, in fact it has elevated me and made me a better individual. More patient & less judgmental with others & myself. read more

I have been training under our Grand Master since 1990. Before joining I had researched other training facilities, however, have never regretted for a second choosing to train under Grand Master Peircy. The comradery I have formed with many of my fellow students over the years is difficult to find in this day and age. The teachings offered at Kung Fu For Life are truly that, "For Life." Every student begins at the same place and is skillfully taught to develop the body AND the mind as they are masterfully guided along the path of skill development and longevity of life. This training facility is not for those who are looking for a "quick fix" or an "easy path" towards their personal development in the art of Kung Fu in its pure form. Like anything in life worth having, Kung Fu is not easy and requires hard work and dedication. At Kung Fu For Life, we are taught to respect all others as well as our planet and all it has to offer. We are taught to avoid confrontation if at all possible. We are never the aggressor. However, that does not mean that our kindness should be mistaken as weakness. If you are seeking to become the best that you can become and learn from true Masters and Grand Masters then look no further. I would recommend Kung Fu For Life to anyone interested in overall self-development. We at Kung Fu For Life welcome and respect all new students. read more
