Outstanding martial arts school. Talented and caring instructors. Wide variety of training for all age groups. In addition to Kung Fu, classes also include Tai Chi, Yoga for martial arts, and fight conditioning. Highly recommend!

This is an incredible school with even more amazing instructors. Sifu is incredibly patient and kind to both newcomers and people learning another martial art. He's knowledgeable and always willing to give advice. The instructors are also knowledgeable about the forms and applications to forms. I'm so proud and happy to be a student of this school.

I had no previous experience when I decided I wanted to start practicing a martial art, and when I had made the decision to do so I realized I wanted to study and practice a style that wasn't of the "norm." I came across SWYI's website and was immediately intrigued. I decided to go check out the school and was quickly impressed by the school's atmosphere alone. It felt truly authentic walking in and being toured by Sifu Travis Alschbach. The school's lineage being traced all the way back to the Shaolin Temple in China really shows in the school, in Sifu, the instructors and the curriculum. I have been a member of the school for over a year and I have developed much better agility, balance, strength and flexibility than I have ever possessed. The students and instructors definitely give a feeling of belonging and they make it a family-like atmosphere. Always willing to assist in training if you are in need of help. I originally started martial arts for career purposes, but now it is a very important aspect of my life.

My family has been attending for 6 years now. My kids love Sifu's guidance and teaching! Staff is very very knowledgeable and family oriented with lots of scheduling flexibility. I highly recommend!

Outstanding martial arts school that is available to students of all ages and skill levels. Reasonable monthly rates, with no contracts, and you get paired with a dedicated and qualified instructor to help guide you on your martial arts path. Sifu Alschbach and his staff are polite, professional, and very accommodating. If you are considering martial arts for the very first time, or are already experienced, this is one school you simply must check out before enrolling anywhere else.

I began training at this school in 2008, and it jumpstarted my current love of the martial arts. When I first visited the school, the traditional Chinese interior and obvious care for the equipment caught my eye. However, it was my meeting with Sifu Travis Alschbach that made it clear how different this school was from others in the area.

If you are interested in learning martial arts for any reason -- health, self-defense, strength gaining, philosophy, etc -- then this is the school for you. All aspects of Kung Fu are taught (and taught well), including basic movements, forms, joint locking, grappling, weaponry, and hand-to-hand sparring/fighting. Basic Chinese history and philosophy is also a key element of instruction, and one's understanding of such is tested thoroughly in order to reach the advanced levels. Advancing is also up to the student; while students are encouraged to test their limits, they are never forced.

I have since moved away and train in martial arts elsewhere. However, I make it a point to return to this school every time I come back to Texas. The quality of instruction and welcoming staff make learning at SWYI a joy.

I've studied at many, many different martial arts schools over an extended period of time, but I have Shaolin Wu-Yi to thank more than any other. There is a true love for the art here. Capable, experienced instructors work with you to make sure you achieve your goals, whether self-defense, performance, fitness, competition, or anything else. The quality and standard of training is enormously superior to the cut-and-paste "McDojo" environment of factory-line black belts, which so many people who have tried martial arts before are familiar with. At Shaolin Wu-Yi Institute, you'll develop a powerful understanding of all the different facets of Chinese martial arts, and reap benefits in combat skill, mental clarity, and daily living. Can't recommend Shaolin Wu-Yi institute more highly.
