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's don'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.
Reply: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'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 "follows" to make his teacher or the technique look good) is not very high in such an area.





It isn'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.

Reply:Shifu Hengxin is an excellent instructor; he toured with my Abbot back in the early '90's. Unless you want to move to Manhattan to train under Shi Yan Ming, look up Hengxin. ;-)
