I have been studying Northern Shou Shu for over 7 years now with my whole family. This review might…read moreseem familiar because I have left a review from another studio when I first started this path. There are three studios California. I have been to all three studios. The one in Sacramento is too far for me. I find that this one is unique because of the two school owners, Shun Shifu Erika and Shun Shifu Rose, which allows you to have two different feelings of learning. Don't get me wrong though. All of the owners are not just training to become a master of the art. They are passing down the legacy of the Grandmaster Da Shifu Clark. Therefore, he PERSONALLY is in regular contact with every owner! I have met him several times and he is amazing and scary, but sometimes funny too. Now to continue but with an edit form from my review of my first studio.... I have had some exposure in a few different martial arts. Over 25 years ago, I had looked at a "roots" school of Moore's and was not impressed with the instructors that I met there and never had any interest in attending any of their schools. When I came across Red Dragon Shou Shu, it looked like a mix of Kung Fu and Karate. I wanted my children to learn martial arts and tried out their demo class. When I realized that it was off the line of Moore's, I almost walked out. But I paid for the demo and decided to see if it changed....and it has. Shou Shu starts out with harder style which I feel is good for beginners because they can see and feel the solid moves. As they advance, it evolves into a softer style, like a dance. It is a very friendly and family oriented environment. If you choose this style of martial arts, 1 believe that you will be very pleased with this art. I don't want to scare off the families that want general self defense, but this is NOT a competition style art. It is to save your life, not to fight. If you want to fight, take up boxing. If you want to save yourself from being kidnapped or killed then this is something to look at. Shou Shu is a way of life and with any art in life, it takes time to go from stumbling to flowing.
