“He is understanding and respectful of natural limits, abilities and skill levels.”
From the reviews
Master Shi Yan Hong is great. I’m glad my son is learning from the best! A 34th Generation Disciple of Shaolin Temple.
Ignore all the negative comments. Being strict and mean helps you learn more and grow more discipline.
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.
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.
Your first taekwondo class at Shaolin Warrior Academy
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors 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 basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
