Great place to exercise your mind, body and spirit with classes in Tai Chi, Kung Fu and Kickboxing.

Disorganized. The shi fu is rarely there and when he is his lessons are different than the regular instructors, so it’s really hard to figure out what the correct form is. And it’s expensive. They treat the shi fu like a cult leader but he’s just a guy in a robe with a huge ego and a temper.

I began practicing Kungfu about 5 years ago at another school in New Orleans. After spending 1 year at that school I decided to travel to China and visit THE Shaolin Temple. The visit made me realize what I was learning at the time was not authentic Shaolin and not the right fit for me. After trialing other martial arts schools (karate) in New Orleans I found the Shaolin Institute. The Shaolin Institute is a positive and safe environment to learn, grow and challenge yourself without judgement, fear or harshness. What is taught is real Shaolin Kungfu and relaxing Tai chi. I went half way across the world to find what's right here in New Orleans. A place to grow physically and mentally through martial arts AND have fun while doing it.
