Shaolin Temple UK

Negative experience: This is the rubbish temple you can ever find they teach you nothing but sanda. Not alot of kung fu teaching at this place just a few or 2 that's it. Never tell you how you use these techniques in proper explanation.

Fantastic experience: I have been training here for about 4 years now and find that my learning constantly deepens as time goes on. The instructors clearly have deep knowledge about not just Shaolin or forms, but fighting/combat in general, incorporating experience in a variety of styles while bringing everything back to Shaolin. The students and staff are all extremely friendly and supportive, lacking ego and always being generous. I have no plans of stopping training here!

Fantastic experience: The official and authentic Shaolin Kung Fu center in UK. With over 25 years experience, Shaolin Temple UK has rich heritage and history of Chinese martial arts, meditation and cultural events. It’s an incredible place to engage with people, culture, and most importantly, Kung Fu training.

Fantastic experience: Five stars doesn't even begin to cover it! I walked into Shaolin as a hungry muay Thai fighter, a few years ago needing a gym and guidance and i received more. This isn't just a gym; it's a community. The instructors are phenomenal. They're incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and push you just the right amount to see real progress. They break down complex techniques into manageable steps, making it accessible for everyone, regardless of their fitness level. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced fighter, you'll learn something new every class, but at the same time there is A strong focus on the fundamentals. Everyone is supportive and encouraging, creating a positive and motivating environment. There's no ego, just a group of people working hard and having fun.

Fantastic experience: In London, this is a rare and friendly place where you can experience Chinese culture. As someone who loves Kung Fu, I never expected to find a place like this in London. With Qigong and Kung Fu, I can balance your body and mind while immersing myself in Chinese culture—it’s truly an enjoyable experience! 非常感谢师傅，师娘

Fantastic experience: Shifu are highly professional and patient. Each class is full of challenges but also very interesting, giving people great motivation. The atmosphere here is particularly good. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced martial arts enthusiast, you can feel the rich martial arts culture and the friendly learning environment. Whether it is physical exercise, psychological growth or cultural experience, this place is an excellent choice! It is highly recommended for all those who are interested in traditional Chinese martial arts and healthy lifestyle!

Fantastic experience: I am pleased that we found Shaolin temple. My child has been attending the forms class for over 2 years and she shines after every class, also her coordination and strength have significantly improved. Shifu Roxy is very passionate about the practice, teaching student discipline, focus and balance. I would definitely recommend joining for everyone!

Fantastic experience: Really nice classes & teachers. The prices are also good For me it's a great alternative to gym

Fantastic experience: A very interesting shoot at the Shaolin Temple! The staff was very friendly! The space are very beautiful! Recommended to all!

Fantastic experience: one of the best places in London (not only shaolin-wise)

Negative experience: I can safely say that I’ve learnt so much about this place, so much so that I now meditate at home! A classist establishment, along with power tripping owners, avoid!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great Escapism, Great Instructor's, Friendly Environment. Expensive Annual Fee.

Fantastic experience: An official Shaolin Temple in London: we are very lucky.

Positive experience: Definitely, worth a visit at Tufnell Park to be an instructor for your circle.

Positive experience: 可以为弘扬中华文化做出贡献

Fantastic experience: Es gibt nichts besseres um den Stress zu verlassen. Cleaining your brain

Fantastic experience: Great and authentic martial arts place with a prayer room and a real Chinese master from the Shaolin Temple China

Fantastic experience: a temple, for promoting positive energy, focus and excellence. a root to our well springs, a revocation, a summons back to the place of our inception and resurrection......I am there for chi gong, a regime to promote health, thro endurance so one is able to better endure the burden of occupying the mortal coil thus existance becomes more cordial and less burdensome and serenity and grace may yet be given a chance to cohabit along with being.

Fantastic experience: They are the Best of the Best!!!

Fantastic experience: I began training with Shifu Yanzi in 1998 and at Shaolin Temple UK when Shifu opened it in 1999 at the Tufnel Park site. It's iconic in the area the big red gates are the only sign it exists on Junction Road and then when you walk down the ramp you enter a totally different environment. There is a lot of Shaolin culture to be experienced there including martial arts training, qi gong, meditation and all are welcome.

Fantastic experience: Really great and fun place to train, the shifus are all so wonderful and knowledgable and care so much about students progression.

Fantastic experience: I used to attend Shaolin Temple back in 2015, and never found a place to train like it after I moved. After jumping back online to see how they were doing, its great to see there classes now online, and I signed up to Qigong, for me this is the best place in uk to be for Qi Gong and Kung Fu.

Fantastic experience: One of the best place to train mind, body and soul.

Fantastic experience: Best martial art school in the country

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: I started the Qi Gong classes at the beginning of lockdown and can honestly say that it's been the best decision Ive ever made and has changed my life, body and mind. All the Shifus are very passionate about their practice and this clearly plays out in each class not only this but offering their wisdom after each session and during. I have learnt so much and feel so much healthier, this will now be a lifelong practice for me. Qi gong has so many health benefits and has really brought about my life force. Communication has been excellent throughout, whenever I've had a query or needed to speak to someone I've had a response almost straight away. I cannot recommend highly enough the Shoalin temple, the Shifus and their classes. I look forward to visiting and taking part in classes at the temple in the near future. Thank you so much.

Fantastic experience: The Shaolin Temple is a unique place in London. Like an oasis of tranquility and wisdom in this crazy city. The teachers are the real deal and can teach kung-fu for all levels, and much more for those willing to learn.

Fantastic experience: From what I understand this is the uk official branch of the shaolin temple in china. Shifu yanzi and the students he has raised to become teachers are the real deal, shifu yanzi himself doesn't seem like a regular kungfu master, Both he and the teachers all have combat experience in the ring/self defence, all the teachers also have the internal disciplines as well the external training to a high standard which is rare. It really is a pleasure to train at the school, because of my life style and work I cannot commit to the daily routine the school incourages. I've been training at the school on and off for many years and I feel I'm part of the community. Training in the yard during summer, learning stick forms, chi gong and meditation in the morning... practicing forms till the dead of night! It's an amazing place. The reason why I decide to write this review is to highlight that I have only seen shaolin temple uk breakdown the traditional forms and weapons into modern day combat, im not talking about "what if drills", the school has a full size boxing ring, a huge line of heavy bags etc.. and they fight with gloves, full contact, full power to prove the moments are real( the combat area of the school looks and sounds like any muaythai or boxing gym). I've even seen a teacher demonstrate no gi jujitsu in the fight team classes. Sanshou is also taught at the school but most of the techniques shifu yanzi has personally developed himself. He has gone straight into the forms and extracted practical applications. It's really something to witness. You don't just learn100 forms then go on your merry way hopping from one Chinese school to the next, no! The training at shaolin temple uk I believe is how the old Chinese masters use to train back in the old days, the methods that gave shaolin huge respect 1500 years ago, learning and applying each application for a life or death situation, that legacy is being continued in Tufnell Park. It is a real pleasure being part of a fun loving and heavily committed to learning real shaolin skill community.

Fantastic experience: Very good place for Kungfu, Qigong training .

Fantastic experience: Five years old son and I have been training at the Shaolin temple UK for over a year now. Through this year we have gotten much stronger. I do the 1.5 hour Saturday morning session, and a 3 hour one mid week, my son does a 1.5 child session. The teachers and staff are the heart of this place. The teachers are martial arts experts, each with their own style and special teaching. The staff are friendly and helpful. It feels like a second home. If you are thinking of bringing a child over, consider the philosophy that is tought is Buddhist , as per the Shaolin way. It is not a violent place . You learn how to be strong and how to protect yourself when the time comes. The teachers are exactly the sort of people you want around children. The facility is more than enough for the job,and has an authentic atmosphere. Moms might like the relaxing waiting area . The classes match all experience levels. There are also chikong sessions for people who just want the excercise and and meditation and not the material art. As for the costs, I like being able to pay as you go, and it gets cheaper if you commit in advance. It feels like you are getting more for the money, because the classes are expertly taught, the facilities excellent, everyone friendly and helpful. Another specialty is availability of Chinese Dr on premise. It is perfect for aches and pains that happens when you overdo physical training . It just makes the package that I Shaolin Temple UK even more rounded. I strongly recommend Shaolin temple UK.

Personally, I've been coming here for two years, and it's one of my favourite places in London!

Fantastic experience: Shaolin Temple UK is probably the best option for Londoners who desire to find authentic Kungfu training inside London. The staff there are very professional and friendly. It doesn't operate like a temple or gym but a warming family. After training there for a while, I felt Kungfu training is more effective than boring weight lifting in the gym. With the competitive training fee, I don't think regular gym will ever work for me again. I really want to highlight the location of STUK. The temple locates only couple minutes away from Northern line in Zone 2 so I never felt hard to be committed or make to training on time. I also benefit a lot from the on-site doctor they have at the temple every Saturday. Doctor Qiao is very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The therapy really helped me a lot. Seriously, I would recommend this place to anybody who would want to stay healthy and get fit.

Fantastic experience: If you want the authentic Shaolin Temple experience, food, gong fu and culture? Then this is where you need to be. The Temple also has a school in China which is open to overseas students. I spent 17 days in China at the sister school curtsy of the Shaolin Temple UK. It was an awesome experience and met lots of lovely and supportive people. Training was tough (7 hours per day), and the food provided was excellent. My son who is 17 has now joined again after a long break and I look forward to taking him to China next year to have the full on training experience. I would urge anyone who is willing to push their limits to join the Shaolin Temple UK. Great facilities, teachers, opportunities and food.

Fantastic experience: my daughter has been going to shaolin temple uk for sparring and to learn kung fu. It is an excellent place for kids to learn self defense skill.

Fantastic experience: This place hosts most kind people all over the world, the masters are genuine qualified and well known in the world (google has second me), taking training here with friendly people and great masters is a true joy. and the Chines Dr. Qiao is also a magic Bone specialist, who can fix people with bulge disk, arthritis and dislocation necks. I recommend to people come to experience this place.

Fantastic experience: Shaolin Temple UK is my second home. The training here is second to none. The years training here have had a huge impact not just on my health and fitness but other areas of my life too. I hardly ever get sick, thanks to the qigong training, the kung-fu training has developed mental stamina as well as physical. Have developed the will power to push through barries and overcome obstacles. There's now also a branch in China nearby the Shaolin Temple which runs summer camps and 100 days training challenges for 72 styles. Which is open all year round. Am very grateful from what I have gained from my training here. The knowledge and support from the masters, the experiences and memories. My family. Amitoufo

Fantastic experience:

Positive experience: Amazing Chinese vegan food, but slowish service. Well worth a visit for any vegetarian.

Fantastic experience: The temple restaurant is open to the public and serves really good, fresh, vegetarian Chinese food, accompanied by an endless supply of tea. They might give you a short spiel and some leaflets on the temple if you're in a large group (and a quick tour if you're interested).
