Shaolin Gym Kung Fu

Overview

Shaolin Gym Kung Fu is a fantastic spot for kids and adults alike who want to explore the art of Kung Fu in a supportive and friendly environment. Located in a lovely scout hut, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it perfect for beginners as well as those with some martial arts experience. Classes are led by Sifu Richard, who brings a mix of skill and humour to his teaching, ensuring that everyone feels at ease while learning. The small class sizes mean that every student receives individual attention, which is especially great for kids who might be a bit shy or unsure.
