I searched in and around Denver to find a good Kung Fu School, and I have to say this is by far the…read morebest. I found that the other schools were very focused on profit (aka... buy our unique clothes/shoes which are very high compared to what you find online and lots of pressure to sign a one year contract), didn't have a safe/decent training facility, or weren't really Kung Fu schools. The Sifu at this school charges month-to-month and charges significantly less than other programs. Don't believe me? Check the numbers here and other places. He is also interested in teaching the art and philosophies of Kung Fu. Not teaching you how to beat people up. I actually had a school tell me I would be able to pummel people in a couple months. This isn't what Kung Fu is about. I studied here for a year before being relocated to another state and I have to say it is one of the things I miss most about Colorado.

I can safely say Boulder Kung Fu Academy changed my life. I began training because I did not know…read morehow to channel my anger and frustration, suffered from depression and anxiety, and needed a physical outlet to move my body. Admittedly I also have always been a fan of those cheesy old kung fu movies. In the end, I did not know this would be a life-changing experience. I have moved through many physical challenges, joint issues, and etc through my 8 years of kung fu, qigong and tai chi training. I highly recommend Sifu Wang as a teacher. He is compassionate, knows how to meet his students where they are at, and is a great guide and motivator, seeming to know exactly where your limitations are and how to help you understand your own body, when to push and when to rest. As a side benefit, I am comfortable in a bikini. I am grateful to have an unexpected extended family of brothers and sisters who come from different backgrounds, cultures and experiences and yet we all are in this life and practice together. I am a calmer, more balanced and centered person and I attribute much of this to my martial arts practice at Boulder Kung Fu.

After 2…read moreyears of training at Boulder Ving Tsun (including a year of Zoom classes due to COVID,) I feel stronger, more confident, and more accomplished than ever. All this after I have trained in a several different arts over the last 12 years. Sifu Bryan's teaching style is a blend of time honored traditional Ving Tsun training methods together with his kind and patient instruction. He also compels his students to achieve a higher level of skills once the student is ready. His methods are effective for beginners and experienced martial artists alike to achieve excellent Kung Fu. Sifu Bryan's school belongs to the Moy Tung Ving Tsun family, an international network of Ving Tsun Kung Fu schools. This provides several additional benefits, including a wealth of material to draw from: videos, seminars, and a wider range of students to train with.

The atmosphere is bad, but takes a while to see why. * Sin The is their grandmaster. look him up because he is a fake grandmaster. trust me, you will not learn real Shao-lin kung fu because Sin The made a lot of what he taught up so he could copy write it. But lied to his students so they would all buy onto it. * they are a belt factory. the problem is they don't train enough in the fundamentals nor conditioning which leads to injuries. they constantly pressure you to test and it is for the money, not the students benefit. they teach the forms so fast that you never have the time to really learn them. * they teach weapon forms, but not the fundamentals of each weapon. this means that you are handling the weapon wrong and you don't get a feel for it because they don't teach it to you nor give you the time to even try to get there. I am not to sure they know themselves. * they talk bad about existing and past students. * they talk bad about other martial art schools to just keep saying how great they are. * this one is too hard to explain, but they are one of those cult like martial art schools. * sometimes in the middle of class, instead of continuing to teach, they will push their political points of view on you. * they don't always like answering questions you might have about what they are teaching. * they setup an atmosphere where i had seen students turn on one another...on more then one occasion. i have even heard them tell lies about their students to other students...all as subtly as possible. In their own subtle ways they are controlling. you can never truly enjoy your achievements nor your time there. avoid this place and find a healthier atmosphere.

I first met Scott through Chinese Medical school, where he taught Taiji, and soon thereafter began…read morestudying Bagua with him. While most in the Alternative arts and medicine community have incredible hearts and caring personalities, very few have achieved what I would call a high-level of practice, or, "Master" status. It takes a dedicated practice and training with highly qualified teachers (the 2 main factors that are missing in most practitioners'/teachers' backgrounds). Scott has trained intensively (and I'm not talking about a year here or few months there) with the best, and continues to dedicate himself to his practice to this day. Scott's expertise becomes more and more apparent the longer you study with him, as he never shows off his abilities or strains to prove himself. I wish nothing more than for him to get into the ring with one of these "Mixed Martial Arts" fighters, thoroughly kick their ass, and end that nonsense of a sport. Alas, he would never do such a thing. Scott's teaching style is very individualized, meaning everyone gets a lot of attention. He is attuned to the needs and sensitivities of each student, however different they are, and will adjust the lesson accordingly. From young children to older people, he has an enormous range as a teacher and instructor. I am looking forward to when my daughter will be old enough to begin taking kung-fu lessons with him. I recommend reading Scott's reviews for his San Francisco practice as well (don't miss the "filtered" ones), as there are some excellent testimonials of Scott as a teacher.

Where to begin, first of all about me and who I am, I'm 29 years old I've been studying buddhism,…read moremeditation, and body awareness practices steadily since I was about 12. I spent about 4 of those years heavily involved in aikido (w/ Frank Doran-sensei), kenjustsu (kashima shin-ryu) and kyudo (ANKF). More recently I spent about the last 5 years living in China as a full time live-in (gongfu) student of a daoist priest. I have been helping a friend teach some of his classes in the San Francisco area but have so far refrained from making it a personal profession though I have been encouraged to do otherwise. What to say about Scott? Having met various teachers in China, Japan, the US, and even some in South America, I have never met one that held a candle to Scott's mastery of gongfu (kung fu) as a vehicle for self defense, a cultural art form, or a vehicle for spiritual transformation, let alone all of them together or with an understanding of why they all matter and how they relate. I've met a lot of folks who traveled to china to live and train there, sometimes for years. It's really exciting to go to a place where it looks like "just in the movies". The thing about someone like Scott is... he's hard to spot. He doesn't live in a temple. He doesn't wear robes or have a topknot. He doesn't live in China and he's not Chinese. He doesn't even follow certain ritual forms of sounding profound that are standard among such teachers or drop buzzwords. So you typically need to have some background in order to see what he has. If you have a mature appetite for martial arts and want to train with the best, go check him out. If you are just curious and want to see what he's up to or if it's a good fit, he's very approachable and loves to talk about this stuff. If you're looking for cardio-kickboxing or to prove how tough you are to people, you should go somewhere else for that.

The instructors are wonderful, very professional yet personable. High level techniques being shared here. With soo much experience on the mats you have lots of different Jiu-Jitsu styles to choose from. The amenities are exceptional. Nice clean bathrooms, changing rooms and showers. The front desk people are always smiling and helpful when you come in the door. While I haven't gotten to train the striking classes as I primarily train Jiu-Jitsu , they look like a lot of fun and they are training very hard with solid technique. They have lots of quality mat spaces for grappling and striking as well as workout equipment. There are many classes for people to choose from. Giving the most flexibility I have ever seen at a gym. Add in the elevation and the location of a beautiful mountain city, this is one of the best places to train in the country. I highly recommend the gym.
