Grown From Ancient Roots
Shaolin Kung Fu was born nearly 1500 years ago in the Songshan mountain of China. Throughout the centuries, many forms of martial arts have blossomed out of Shaolin Kung Fu, such as dragon, leopard, tiger, crane, and snake, but Shaolin Kung Fu is fertile soil from which they grew.
The origins of Tai Chi are obscure. Some believe it is a gentle Art leading to supreme self-control, and others believe it began as a form of self-defense. We at Shaolin Arts are lucky to be able to do both.
We respect our ancient roots at Shaolin Arts and instill a reverence for these ancient Chinese arts in all our students.
Our Values
Whether you’re learning Kung Fu or Tai Chi, we believe in fostering a culture of inclusion and self-respect.
We believe in the values of peace, harmony, and balance brought by these forms of ancient martial arts, so we pass them on to students like you so you can become successful in other aspects of your life.

I have been going to Shaolin Arts for several years, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
At first, it felt like at lot of money but looking back, I do not regret a single dollar that I have spent learning from Shaolin Arts. The instructors are phenomenal and teach us to improve our quality of life through the arts. It is not just about learning to fight, but learning to master yourself. Come take lessons! You will not regret it!

I’d give 10 stars, if it were possible. My family and I have been going here twice a week for nearly two years.
Sifu Johnson is amazing! She’s knowledgeable, engaging, and kind. The studio is impeccably clean. Highly recommend!
Juliette Bradley
Studying Kung Fu at Shaolin Arts has been a life changing experience for me. As a business owner and a dad with a busy schedule I wasn’t taking the time to focus on myself both mentally and physically.
Sifu Johnson and the other students at the Sandy Studio have challenged me over the last year and a half to push myself, and strive for a higher level of balance and harmony. If you are looking for a challenge, and to improve yourself mentally and physically this is the place to go. I can’t recommend it enough.
