11 years ago, at 34, I was a student of western boxing, which I loved, but I wanted to train a traditional art for different reasons than just fighting. Shaolin Do is a thinking art. You’re always fixing and correcting yourself, to make each movement work as inteded. There isn’t enough space here, to explain how training at Louisville Shaolin Do, has improved my overall level of well being. Yes, training a traditional art will teach you how to fight, or more precisely, stop an attack, but more than that, Shaolin Kung Fu teaches us how to live. The shear amount of material that we have, from animal forms, to weapons, to Paqua and Tai chi, is both our blessing and our curse. Just as you start getting good at one form, you get another one. As you progress, forms are added to your curriculum that increase the level of difficulty. You’ll learn to move in ways that your body has never moved before, which will strengthen weak areas while reinforcing areas were you might already have strength. Through repetition, you’ll create muscle memory, that will become reactionary. I’ll stop here, but again, I can’t say enough good things about this school, my fellow students, our instructors, and our founder, Grand Master Sin. It’s a really cool family. Come in at 6 p.m., mon or wed and see for yourself. 🙏✌️

I recently relocated to the Louisville area and was pleased to find Louisville Shaolin-Do and Elder Master John Price. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun with a family vibe that is refreshing. I had prior experience in Shaolin-Do but had been away from the art for several years. The instructors and students at Louisville Shaolin-Do were welcoming and supportive as I rekindled my love for martial arts. As for art of Shaolin, I can attest I haven’t found anything as comprehensive in material as taught in this discipline. I encourage you to give the school and the art a try.

~stick w/ it and you’ll even kill flies faster. 😉

I took my third class yesterday and I love the history of Shaolin-Do already and the masters can’t be any more polite and respectful! All of them know what they’re talking about and I will continue to study martial arts at this place!

My kids like to train there!
