Run by Shifu Shi Yanzi and Shifu Yan Lei means classes are taught by real monks. You can learn meditation, Qigong and of course Shaolin Gung fu. The classes are broken down into levels so beginners learn at an even pace and progress when ready. The training is very hard, but just being in the presence of real life fighting monks makes the experience worth every penny.

Agreed with all of the above, the Shaolin Temple and it's genuine Shaolin Monks are the real deal…read morein terms of learning Gong Fu and San Shou (kickboxing) in London. I attend with my 5 yr old son in our respective 'preperation' classes as often as possible. One major plus for me is the presence of a gifted Chinese doctor, who has been giving me treatment for a back injury which caused Sciatica. After just two treatments I am off the prescription painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. A super friendly, welcoming atmosphere has added to the positive experience for us as well as the inspiration of seeing the Shifu and senior students in action , many of whom are national or international champion in their chosen discipline

Bill Judd opened KO Kickboxing over thirty years ago. In that time he has trained the likes of…read moreMadonna, Pink and numerous World Champions. KO is a force in Muay Thai boxing and the Bethnal Green gym is well respected. Training is physically demanding and respect must be shown at all times, to instructors and fellow students. In return for your hard work, the gym operates like a family and you can expect vociferous support if you take the ultimate challenge and fight for the club. You will never be pushed to fight though and Thai boxing is a sensational way to keep fit and build self-confidence. KO is a full-time gym. It is open everyday and along with the full size boxing ring, you'll find kick bags and all the equipment you need to get started.

This is a great gym to study Muay Thai. The only reason I…read morestopped goin to this place was because my new job clashed with the gym time table. The instructor here is called Bill. I don't know much about his professional career, but I know he was a champion muay that fighter, and he is a good teacher. One tip from me if you start to go here regularly is invest in your own equipment! In the beginning I did not have my own gloves, so I had to use their public gloves.... they were all sweat drenched, and trust me, it takes ages before you can wash the stench of sweat off your hands! Same goes for the shin guard... they were so wet with sweat that they soaked through my nike jogging bottoms! Also, be careful if ur a newbie. It seems that Bill makes it a point to "demonstrate" on newbies, showing them how powerful Muay Thai is by using his "weak" left leg to kick you "lightly" on your arm... hurts pretty bad! lol. But dnt worry, we have all been there... its like a right of passage.
