Fantastic experience: My son has been attending for nearly two years and he loves the classes. He is maintaining his flexibility, gaining strength and learning focus and discipline. I would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Master Dong is a wonderful Kung Fu & Tai Chi instructor who runs fun & family-friendly classes in South Dublin. We attend the outdoor Kung Fu sessions in the park, which are fantastic. It's rare for parents and children to be able to train in a sport or activity together and being able to do so is very special - especially out in nature in the middle of trees & wildlife with the occasional squirrel running by. We're from a sporty family but the extra flexibility and balance from practicing Kung Fu has been very noticeable in a short space of time. I'd recommend his classes to anyone - young and old - there is something for everyone. And the other folks attending are a really friendly and welcoming bunch!
Fantastic experience: Great place to learn kung fu
Fantastic experience: Amazing classes. Kung Fu, Self defence, Tai Chi etc.. Shifu brings his passion to class, shares his culture with us beautifully. I have learned so much the last year and I feel much stronger and confident. Same for my 6 years old boy, he is a different boy now, I am so grateful. Thank you Shifu!
Fantastic experience: I have been practicing Kung Fu with master Yang Dong for a year and I highly recommend his courses. Master Dong is truly a fantastic teacher, the best you can hope to encounter. His classes are fun, engaging and inspiring. I practice twice a week with Master Dong and I felt very welcomed since day one, with him I have the opportunity to learn Shaolin Kung fu, self-defence techniques, Chinese kickboxing and the art of Nunchaku and other weapons. Master Dong is very passionate, kind and patient and his love for Kung Fu is truly contagious. If you are looking for Kung Fu classes in Dublin you have found the right place.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Shifu Yang since February and I really recommend his classes. Shifu is able to truly share his passion and dedication creating a great and motivating environment were you feel encouraged to push yourself, stay focused, and grow both physically and mentally. Every class is structured, challenging, and rewarding, from self defence, tai chi and kick-boxing... it’s more than just a workout, it’s a journey into true martial arts. I highly recommend these classes. Shifu Yang brings out the best in his students, and I’m grateful to be learning from him
