Great curriculum, very helpful, knowledgeable instructors. Friendly, family atmosphere that makes learning fun. Great workout and techniques that are applicable to real world self defense. Many techniques and forms that will keep you stimulated. Does not get boring or repetitive as there is always new material to learn.

Absolutely the best Martial Arts School I have ever been to! I have been a student of Martial Arts on and off for over 15 years and Shaolin Do Kung-Fu & Tai Chi is by far the best I have ever known. Their classes are taught with professionalism and respect and are accessible to any and all fitness levels. And boy are they so much fun!!!! Master Ryan genuinely cares about his students and gives everyone detailed and individual attention to help them grow in their practice. Their prices are unbelievably low compared to anything I've ever seen. This is not one of those schools that churns students

I am very impressed and pleased by the instructors who worked at trying to get my son to participate with the class. My son is a very shy person and needs a minute to warm up to anyone he meets. Joe one of the instructors came over to sit with my son and talk with him to comfort him and ease his fears. This was my son's second time coming out to this place the first time he absolutely did not want to participate and stayed frozen with tears in his eyes. I tried my best to comfort him, with no luck. After that class my son expressed to me that he still wanted to try again. Master Ryan suggested
