Full disclosure: this is a biased review because I have been training here for almost 5 years now…read moreand am an official member of the #wushuohana. That said, if you are looking to train in contemporary/traditional external wushu or internal wushu (taiji quan, bagua Zhang, and qigong) on Oahu, this is a good place to do it! The Wushu Center's team of volunteers do their best to provide a wushu training atmosphere full of aloha spirit. We offer quality wushu instruction to all skill levels, with after school programs suitable for children 5 and up. Contemporary competitive wushu is the biggest draw for the younger students, as it is often featured in the movies and TV (Jet Li, Kung Fu Panda, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Jackie Chan) and it is a fun and challenging way to get and stay in shape, make friends, and participate in an internationally competitive sport with surging popularity and modern appeal. Many older youths and adults also enjoy the "internal" wushu classes in Taiji Quan and Bagua Zhang (eight-trigram Palm), which offer excellent holistic wellness and fitness routines while also teaching and building useful and effective self defense skills. The Hawaii Wushu Center is also one of the few places in the US that you can find authentic Yin Family Bagua Zhang, which is pretty special, if you look into it. ;) Ok, I'll wrap this shameless plug up now with another welcome: Aloha E Komo Mai: come join our Wushu Ohana!

The main reason is that they have a training curriculum in black and white, it's very easy to see where you start and where your end goals are. Sifu is pretty patient and has great insights during training and the guys/girls training definitely help out along the way. Great place to learn Wing Chun for the first time and on a consistent basis.

First birthday celebration- Staff is very kind. Performance went well…read more 3 stars, but I wish there was a 3.5 option. Only because they asked gender of celebrant the day of the party. Which I was super busy on. They then came with PINK lions when the celebrant is a boy. If they were unsure of gender, I wish they came with any other color but pink or blue. Maybe red, black, gold, etc. It was one of those turn outs that you look back on & tell yourself "if only", the certain parts of the party that could have been better if only. Otherwise, I would have given this 4-5 stars.

They teach lion dance on Fridays(6:00pm-7:30pm for little kids) which my daughter loves to go to. They have tai chi and wu shu class on Sundays... I would love to attend those classes too if I didn't have to work:-( After observing couple classes, I decided to join the Kung-fu lessons... I always wanted to take a self defense course. Well, I found a way better one!! I truly enjoy and look forward to my kung-fu classes!! Teachers are AWESOME! They are strong, knowledgable and helpful yet strict(exactly what my daughter needs!!). Another beautiful part of this place is that they are not there to make money so the fee is $50/Month and you can come to as many classes as you want! AND $30/month for the second family member!!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Saam Fu. I got married in February, right around Chinese…read morenew year and I knew I wanted to hire a Chinese lion dance crew for my Chinese Tea ceremony. I contacted a bunch of other companies that are probably more well known, but they all were either rude, booked or just never responded to my requests. I used company websites, IG and yelp to contact these other companies, but I think some just thought my event was too small to bother even responding. Kinda rude. Anyways, Brandon, from Saam Fu was quick to respond to my email. He gave me all the info I needed and was very nice. I told him what the event was and where and what time. He asked for how many lions I would want and told me the prices. It was straightforward and professional, while still being nice. In the days leading up to the wedding, my Chinese mother told me I needed to make a fishing rod to hold the hongbao for the lion. I acquired some bamboo sticks and totally planned on making one, but I got busy with other things and kind of forgot. On the day of the event, I was running around doing a bunch of other things, but the Saam Fu crew arrived on time, waited patiently outside in the sun and then did the performance for my guests. They brought their own bamboo fishing pole for us to hold. It was way nicer than anything I would have made. It even lit up!!! I easily just clipped my hongbao to the line and it worked great. I love that they were so prepared with things I thought I had to make myself. The dance was perfect and surprisingly pretty long, but not boring. The "head" of the lion congratulated my husband and I as they danced by us which was super cute. They navigated the smallish, crowded space like pros. It was a wonderful event and the lion dance was just the most perfect component of our tea ceremony. I'm so glad I was ghosted and told no by the other companies, because I wouldn't have found Saam Fu otherwise. I will be recommending them to all my friends and family and using them for anything I need a Chinese lion dance for in the future.
