Shaolin Kung Fu in Cheltenham
My name is Robert Z. I have been training in martial arts since 1962 and teaching for many decades. Our school offers traditional Shaolin Kung Fu in a calm, structured, and respectful environment.
We train for health, coordination, balance, strength, and understanding. This is not a competition gym, and it is not a short-term fitness program. Training is progressive and adapted to the individual.
Our members range widely in age, with many in their 50s and 60s training regularly for health, balance, and longevity. A significant number have trained with us for ten years or more. The social environment is strong, supportive, and welcoming.
All instructors have more than ten years’ experience, some over twenty, and several are masters in their own right. I am present at every training session except under genuinely exceptional circumstances.
Your first three sessions are free. There is no sales team and no pressure. When you call or email, you are speaking directly with me.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be fit or experienced to start?
No. Most new students are not “martial arts people” when they arrive. Training is adapted to the individual, and many members begin later in life. Fitness develops through training, not before it.
What ages do you teach?
We generally accept students from around ten years old upward. In practice, our membership is strongly weighted toward mature adults, including many in their 50s, 60s, and beyond.
Is this full-contact or competition fighting?
No. We train traditional Shaolin Kung Fu as a complete system: structure, movement, conditioning, coordination, and practical understanding. There is no requirement to compete or spar aggressively.
Who teaches the classes?
All instructors have more than ten years’ experience, many considerably more. I am present at each training session except in rare circumstances.
How do the free sessions work?
Your first three sessions are free. There is no pressure and no obligation. You train, observe, ask questions, and decide for yourself.
