We trained here for about a year. Shifu was amazing with our 5 year old. I would highly recommend training with him. Both Shifus are very personable and patient. The classes for lower level belts were flexible. There are classes almost everyday, so you pick any two that fit your schedule. read more

Finally found a martial arts school for adults that caters to those who come in fresh with no prior martial arts training or experience. Signed up for a one free trial class for my special needs young adult son and he loved it. Master Shi Yanyi is so patient. His knowledge in martial arts is absolutely incredible. I mean learning from a shaolin master!!!! Cmon now, Who can pass that up. I ended up signing my son up for the monthly package and my son is absolutely loving it. They also offer a Qi Hong (Tai Chi) class. I would love to sign up for myself one of these days. read more

Highly recommend for Shaolin Kungfu classes. Extremely patient teachers who are highly skilled. This is a legit from Shaolin in XiAn China. I have been there myself so I was very happy to find out SiFu Yanyi is a 33/34th Generation Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Monk. So cool! read more

Shaolin Temple Kungfu Center - The classroom for Shaolin Kung Fu - Chinese Martial Arts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

The teacher for the Kung Fu and Tai Chi classes, Shi Yanyi, is a Shaolin monk trained at a Shaolin temple in China. He is amazing both as a martial artist and teacher. I am taking Tai Chi and loving it. I am in my fifties. I am taking the class for physical and mental stress reasons. The class is really helping me. I am feeling better physically and coping with my stress better. I am so glad I came upon this class and teacher. read more

Instructor is the real deal. The kids sparing sessions are actual, on the street style boxing.

Came in for a trial class and both my kids enjoyed it. We will be signing up shortly, tuition seems fair and is competitive to most schools, but most likely still cheaper than most taekwondo studios. You can see photos of Sifu's early days and even with the Abbot as well as other celebrities. Small classes with more personable instruction. The good thing about traditional martial arts is the emphasis on character, but also the development of skills. My kids do some mma stuff, and the one thing thats always lacked is foundational skills such as wrestling and indepth striking, flexibility, etc. They'll defiitely get that here plus some fun weapons training! read more

We have been taking our girls for 2 years now. The shifu is very patient and a great influence on them. We highly recommend it. read more

Our kids have taken taekwondo for 3 years, and karate 2 years. Comparing to shaolin Kungfu Shifu Yanyi Shi really showed his passion and care for the progress of the students, any age. True spirit of martial art really shines thru his teaching. read more

Shaolin Temple Kungfu Center - Blue belt graduation, yeah!!! Much thanks Shifu Yanyi Shi, You're the best!!!! - Chinese Martial Arts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

My son is a 1st Dan black belt in Taekwondo and my wife just started him here last September and he loves it. He especially like Shifu and his teaching style because he's says it's more challenging than And more discipline than Taekwondo. This coming from a 8 years old is quite surprising to me lol but I love it. He loves it so much he won't go back to Taekwondo because he said it was too easy for him. I had a chance to do thru some of the classes Shifu taught and love how discipline he is. Class size is small and he's very attentive to his students since he's the one that's teaching them directly. Overall, I highly recommend. read more

I have been training under coach of master Yanyi for one years and half. It is very worth for each class I came. There are a lot things to learn and never enough for me, such as self defense , sparing , kungfu form, meditations,etc. Master Yanyi is very friendly and easy person for beginner and you won't get any trouble if you start with zero. read more

My 16yo son wanted to try this out...(ppl of All ages were here) he did really well, he's very active and this class had him drenched in sweat so must have been a good workout. I noticed a positive change in his confidence focus and listening/memory. The teacher was very kind and patient. This place is not trying to scam anyone or force you to commit to anything. Would def recommend. read more

INCREDIBLE!!! I am currently in Blue Belt, here, and Shifu is so nice! He is in a way, firm, strict, but very patient all at the same time. You can learn so much about flexibility, getting stronger, and precision. There are many fun things included in the higher belt levels including, stick, fan, spears, sword, and more. Total, there are 9 belt levels, plus the beginner level with no belt..so technically 10. The prices are great, and you go twice a week. He also has privates available as well on request, where you can pay extra for an extra lesson alone, where you really do learn a lot. I say that STKF is a really perfect thing for kids that need to let out their energy, and is so much fun! I love it and so do my three younger siblings:) read more

Shaolin Temple Kungfu Center - Chinese Martial Arts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

My two daughters (ages 9 & 7) have been going to the Shaolin Temple King Fu center for over a year now. As former contemporary Wushu students, my daughters were able to quickly develop under the tutelage, guidance and dedication of Master Shi YanYi. He is devoted to his students and works tirelessly to ensure his students are developing both physically and mentally. This is not your earn a belt every six months type of place, the students need to put in the work and actually be ready for subsequent advancement. It is a safe environment to develop traditional Shaolin Kung Fu skills (hand forms, weapons, and sparring). I would recommend Master Shi YanYi and Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Center without hesitation to any of my friends and family read more

My son has been going here since September 2018 and he loves it. He loves Shifu Yanyi and his teaching style, saying it's more challenging and discipline than Taekwondo. He loves it so much he even practices the forms at home everyday. He never did this when he was in Taekwondo. Overall, I'm super happy we found this gem studio and shifu Yanyi. Highly recommended! read more

Great place! This is taught by an authentic Shaolin master from the temple in China. You will get great training from master Yan Yi!

Both of my boys had a privilege to train with Master Shi Yanyi for almost 6 years (@Shaolin Cultural Center in Temple City) and the boys loved him. With his expertise in original Shaolin Hand Forms and Weapons, Sparring and Flipping and many more...Master Shi Yanyi uses his heart and soul patiently training his students. I (personally) and other parents never had have any doubts about his teaching because we know our kids are trained by a true & humble Shaolin Master. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to have a taste of an Authentic Shaolin Kung Fu. This definitely is a place to try read more

My son has been in Kung Fu with STKC for 3.5 years now. He started as a reluctant 8 year old, but with commitment and dedication, he now enjoys his biweekly training sessions. Shifu Yanyi is an amazing teacher and martial artist. He is patient and kind; he continually encourages and challenges each student to always do his/her best. Shifu Yanyi is also very organized. The school celebrations and performances are well rehearsed and put together. At STKC, it's not just about earning new belts every few months. It's true that at each advancement, students learn new forms and weapons. However, Kung Fu is an art form that encompasses the entire body and mind. Attend a trial class, and you will find yourself wanting more. read more

We look forward to many more years with Shifu and would highly recommend him. read more

Excellent Kung Fu class. I have been doing both the adult Kung Fu as well as the Shaolin health classes and I love both. The adult Kung Fu is great cardio and muscle training and the health class is great for breathing and stretching your tendons as well as for learning to access your Chi. There is also classes for children. Shifu Shi Yanyi is extremely patient and pleasant to work with and will push you to strive. I can't say enough great things about this place. Between practicing Kung Fu and Shaolin health and getting into great shape and learning about Chinese culture, I am never bored and look forward to each and every class. If you are looking for a great place to learn and practice Kung Fu, this is the place. If you want a great place to get an all-around workout, this is place is worth checking out! read more

Honestly this is better and most effective workout than going to the gym. I've done kick boxing class and cycling class at LA fitness, Bikram hot yoga but this is my favorite!

Everything is going great for my daughter and she loves it I Hope she is making new friends and is happy with them and it's all thanks to the fun and happy Shaolin Temple Kungfu Center read more

I had classes with master Yanyi. Speaking from personal experience, he is diligent in teaching and define every nuances of movements and applications. Every time after the class I would sweat like a bullet, and the muscle would be sore. I can feel he is attentive to students and puts his heart into teaching. Definitely would recommend. read more

Ive been taking my 5 yr old son has been here for the past year and he loves it. he does not want to do any sport. He says that Kung Fu is a sport. read more

We love this school! It has everything you hope for when you sign up your kid for a martial arts: focus, discipline, confidence, strength, social skills, the value of hard work. Shifu Yanyi is very patient and you can see his passion for Kung fu when he teaches. He is amazing with the kids and has full command of the class. He runs the class so well that any of his students can join in on any additional events the school has (they do parades, festival performances, etc) and they will all perform beautifully! This is an official branch of Shaolin Kung fu so it is authentic and the skills they learn are invaluable...I feel like sometimes kids go up in belts in other martial arts but actually learn very little. My son's muscles would actually hurt after specific exercises. They also use various weapons so it's exciting for the kids...after the first fist form, you do staff, then swords, and so on. They are doing double daggers for summer camp 2017. When I was trying to pick a martial arts for my son, I tried several different places. It's just like signing up for a gym...they try to sell you packages, make you commit for a year, etc. I was able to just walk in for a trial class with Shifu Yanyi, (go try it!) get the new student deal, and then buy any month to month or package I want after the first two months. No commitment, no hassle, the classes speak for themselves. It is also so nice that he can speak English since I can't speak Chinese. My 6 year old son has been with this school for almost a year and we hope to stay for many more years. Also want to thank Shifu for his excellent organizational skills, every event by STKC runs smoothly with very little confusion, it's a lot of fun! read more

Excellent place traditional Kung Fu I have3 of my boys in there now and theylove it and the school is one of the best
