Where is a shaolin kung fu school in Rochester, New York?

I want to learn shaolin kung fu very badly, but I can%26#039;t find a school in Rochester, New York. If you know of one give me your opinion on it if you have one.|||go to shangai china. to the shaolin temple. they teach good there|||shaolin kung fu is a highly suspect art.





Suspect for having bs teachers and teaching methods.





Much has become performance and schools do not train with resistance. This is a problem in Chinese Martial Arts, moreso with shaolin.





I would suggest you find another style, ESPECIALLY in a place like rochester which is not a huge area and you don%26#039;t have the acess to many schools like you do in NYC.





The odds of finding a chinese martial arts teacher of any chinese martial art that trains realistically and with resistance (as opposed to a compliant partner who just %26quot;follows%26quot; to make his teacher or the technique look good) is not very high in such an area.





It isn%26#039;t easy to find in NYC what makes you think it would be in rochester.





I would look for another art, or at least another CMA. Odds of you finding a real shaolin school that will actually train you to fight and do it properly in the U.S. is slim.|||Type in Shaolin kung fu in your browser there are many great school in NY. If you go to my website and look through the links I%26#039;m sure you will get what you are looking for.





peace,

Or you can look up USSD, go to their webpage and enter Rochester, NY to find a local dojo. They teach Shaolin Kempo though, not exactly Shaolin Kung Fu, but most dojo%26#039;s don%26#039;t actually teach true Shaolin style anyway. USSD has the belssings and guidance of the Shaolin headmaster and uses his core teachings as their core program.|||Lucky you - you are positively spoilt for choice!


Try these sites and good luck!|||Shifu Hengxin is an excellent instructor; he toured with my Abbot back in the early %26#039;90%26#039;s. Unless you want to move to Manhattan to train under Shi Yan Ming, look up Hengxin. ;-)
