"After training at NYC Shaolin for a short time,
I began to notice positive changes in myself. Not only increased flexibility,
strength, and fitness, but also self-discipline, self-awareness,
and a new pursuit of excellence in my daily activities."

Beginner Classes:

At New York Shaolin Martial Arts School, students learn traditional Chinese Southern Style Kung-Fu. This includes striking techniques of punching and kicking as well as grabbing and takedowns. Southern Jook Lum Mantis is a system that is also offered to intermediate students. We have an open door policy for beginners and provide new students with a free introductory class. In this introductory class, you will be introduced to breath-control, basic stretches, and stances. Please come to class in comfortable clothes, black t-shirt and sweat pants are suggested. Shoes are allowed but only training shoes that have not been worn on the street. Hydrate yourself well during the day to prevent dizziness. And eat a well balanced meal at least three hours before class.
