Denver Shaolin Kung Fu Tai Chi Institute

"SOOOO happy I found the Denver Shaolin Kung Fu Tai Chi Institute! I originally started attending because I wanted a slow paced moving meditation class so I signed up for Tai Chi. But it has transformed into so much more than anything I ever expected! I never thought I would learn how to use a Bo Staff, but I am!! I didn't even know what a Bo Staff was and now I feel like a little ninja! I'm telling you, there are things you can only learn at an in person class that you can't get from a YouTube Video. The teachers are so patient and it is such a welcoming and inclusive environment. It doesn't matter your age or skill level. They offer a free trial class so you don't have anything to lose!!"

"I moved to the Denver area from Colorado Springs about 1.5 year’s ago and was looking for a martial arts school to join. After doing some research I contacted the Denver Shaolin Kung Fu Tai Institute and several other schools. After talking to Sifu John I decided to take advantage of his free trial program. That was about 1 year ago and glad to say that I took that step. It takes one step to start a journey. Training with Sifu John and Sifu Chris learning their Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi program is a journey. The sense of community is strong and they work hard to personalize their curriculum to meet an individual’s needs. I have been training in martial arts for 5 decades and this is a school where egos are set aside to learn the “discipline” of the arts that are taught at this school. Take that first step!"

"I’ve been practicing Kung Fu here for about a year and it is such a great experience. The classes include it all from learning the forms, sparring techniques, exercises, and more. I struggled for a while to find a fitness routine that worked for me, and this was the only place that had me regularly coming back."

"I have been with the school for nearly two years and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it's the most positive martial arts experience I've ever had. Sifu John and Sifu Chris both take great pride in teaching Kung Fu and Tai Chi, but more importantly they take pride in people learning the material. There was never a moment where I felt ready to learn the next form, skill, what have you and they denied me. As long as they are confident you're ready, they will teach you the next bit of source material; allowing anyone to move at their own pace. I am thankful every day I found 5280 Shaolin because it has truly saved my life in many ways from overcoming anxiety to making such great friends in a whole new state. If you're interested in a unique martial arts experience, I encourage anyone to take a trial class. You may just keep coming back for more."

"I have been with this institute for two years and the education is excellent. What you learn here is not just a style of self defense but a lifestyle that combines the mind and the body into one. There is a longevity in Kung Fu that can extend well into your 70's. If you are looking for health, strength, and peace of mind, at any age, this is the place."
