Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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..!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Training with UK Shaolin Centre has had a profoundly positive impact on my mental health. Since joining the centre, I have noticed a significant improvement in my overall sense of well-being, including reduced stress levels and increased resilience in the face of life's challenges. The instructors at UK Shaolin Centre are not only highly skilled in their craft, but also truly caring and supportive of their students. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that encourages everyone to give their best and support one another. The training programs are challenging, but also rewarding. The practice of martial arts has helped me to develop greater focus, discipline, and self-awareness, all of which have spilled over into other areas of my life. What sets UK Shaolin Centre apart, however, is the sense of community that it fosters. Training alongside others who are also striving to improve themselves has been an incredibly motivating and empowering experience. I have made new friends and developed a sense of belonging that I never expected to find in a martial arts gym. Overall, I would highly recommend UK Shaolin Centre to anyone looking to improve their mental health and well-being. The benefits of training with this centre extend far beyond physical fitness, and I am grateful to be a part of such a supportive and uplifting community.

Fantastic experience: I joined UK Shaolin in November 2022 as I needed a new gym and since then have really fallen in love with the place, attending 3-6 days a week. The gym facilities are excellent and the equipment is new and well kept. The whole studio is very clean and tidy and has a very spacious and relaxed atmosphere. I had an awesome PT session with one of the instructors and feel like I’m finally exercising correctly, noticing more change in these few months then ever. They also offer martial arts and yoga classes which compliment my work out. Would highly recommended
