Growth improvement confidence

My review for UK shaolin

UK shaolin is amazing first step to growth, if your thinking of self improvement,self confidence, wellbeing, growth in martial arts. This is the one to do and UK shaolin team is lovely and I have been speaking to one of the teams shout out to Janine haha. But yeah trust me you will love it and in the future it's good for health and good in old age it will help I will explain this in my self review Which I will write now hahaha.
For me I have done martial arts in the past like judo karate wrestling.
But what I love about shaolin Kung Fu it hits every part in your body. I remember doing Ma Bu, Gong Bu, Xu Bu, I feel every part of my legs and bones worked out like if I have been kicked by Bruce lee or Michael jay white or Chuck Norris hahah.
But as I have been doing it daily I feel good. Because the reason why I am doing this 1 because of my family oath brothers, 2 for health 3 for the future of old age when the time comes hahah 4 my oath brother's. I am so glad I have been doing this and your body has rights over you. It is a blessing from God if you don't take care of it it will bear witness against you so take care of your body and health and never give up even if you lost everything. But don't lose your health. Health is wealth".
So yeah that's my review. Big shout out Shifu, the team. I look forward to seeing you one day. Thank you for everything you guys are amazing in promoting Kung Fu, martial arts, shaolin, Chinese culture, wellbeing.
You guys are amazing 5 stars for all of you.
加油加油

At the UK Shaolin Centre

At the UK Shaolin Centre, kungfu classes masterfully blend challenges with fun, creating an ideal environment. The instructors are not only easy to approach but also highly motivating and encouraging, catering to every skill level while gently urging you to progress. Their enthusiasm for kungfu is truly contagious! The centre exudes a welcoming and inclusive vibe, making it an excellent place to boost your confidence as you dive into such a fascinating martial art. Although I felt a bit anxious about attending the trial session, I soon discovered that my worries were unfounded, as everyone there is extremely friendly and the club is filled with warmth. I wholeheartedly suggest giving it a try!

Absolutely love coming to the Shaolin…

Absolutely love coming to the Shaolin centre. The level of skill and wisdom of the staff is simply another level. And their friendliness is super genuine. If you want to truly master your human experience, mentally, physically, emotionally and learn some really really cool, non-western martial arts, come to the Shaolin Centre. You’ll find more happiness, energy, calmness, strength (and even friendships) than you could possibly expect! Love they have holistic services too…proper balanced mix of Yin and Yang with the classes and the services. The 5 element acupuncture has sorted so many things out for me too, from digestion and skin issues, to healing quickly strained muscles and tight tendons. Really worth visiting and having a chat with one of the Shifu (teachers) here..!

Great Kung fu club with lovely atmosphere

The kungfu classes at uk Shaolin centre strike a perfect balance offering both challenge and enjoyment. The coaches are really approachable, inspiring and supportive, accommodating to all levels and pushing you the correct amount. Their infectious passion for the sport really rubs off on you!
The centre has a warm inclusive atmosphere, the perfect environment to build confidence whilst learning a really cool sport. I was initially a little nervous to go to the trial session but after attending I quickly realised I had nothing to worry about, everyone is super friendly and the club radiates kindness. I would recommend just giving it a go.

Love UK Shaolin Temple!

I started Kung-Fu and Tai-chi just over a year ago here at UK Shaolin Temple and I absolutely love it. I didn't think I'd see as much progress in such little time, but everyone of the staff/teachers are so welcomin, patient and genuinely interested in you becoming the best student you can be. I've grown to see them as my Kung-Fu family and I wouldn't go anywhere else now.

High level kick-boxing

High level kick-boxing, emphasis on building strong foundations to produce well rounded fighters. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking to begin fighting or wanting to compete.

If I could. I would quit my job and live here.

I love coming to this gym and doing Kung Fu. I came as a beginner, knowing nothing and the staff made me feel incredibly welcome and have been pushing me as much as I am able. The classes are fun and engaging and the facilities are exactly what you want to try and improve your fitness as a whole. If I could I would quit my job and just go there everyday to train.
