If you’re interested in learning Tai Chi, Qi Gong or Kung Fu I highly recommend Shifu Darrin at Shaolin Warrior. This is not ‘just another exercise class’ but systematic learning, fitness and growth where your progress is tangible. Shifu is an encouraging teacher who knows how to tailor each experience to the individuals in the class, while still building camaraderie among the group.

I enrolled my 13 y/o son into the Shaolin Warrior Teen Workshop over the holidays because I wanted to him to get re-acquainted with the form and discipline of martial arts. He really enjoyed it and he particularly liked the “ sword and sticks” fighting. He told me he had lots of fun and he felt more fit at the end of it! When I went to watch the final session, I was really impressed to see how much he had picked up and it was great watching him move through the forms. Shifu Darrin gave us informed feedback on where my son was at and gave personalised advice on next steps for my son to gain

Really good and enjoyable classes. My fitness level has improved tremendously since starting training with Shifu Darrin. He works with you individually even in group classes. He also explains the real world application of the techniques he is teaching so it makes sense. Perfect for anyone at any fitness level wanting to learn something new.

I’d been looking for a martial art to get into for fitness and fun. Today I did a one on one session with Shifu Darrin and I was very impressed.
His teaching was comprehensive and thorough and he had such an… abundance of knowledge about the history of Kung Fu and explained everything he showed me in detail. Had a great time and definitely coming back.
