Personal training at New Orleans Shaolin is the absolute best way to see results. Everyone is different and thus should have a customized training regimen depending on levels of fitness, coordination, flexibility, and strength. Getting personal attention and tracking goals will speed up the ability to perform the Shaolin martial arts safely and effectively.
Schedule
Also, if our class times or a group setting don’t work for you, personal training is definitely the way to go. Private sessions with Sifu Sam or other black belt instructors can be set up at your convenience, either in-person or through Zoom online.
Specific Martial Art Interests
Our class-based program is time tested to take a beginner toward higher levels of martial arts, but if you already have experience, it may not be necessary or efficient to start back from the beginning. Through private instruction you can focus on any of our specific styles or weapons, or focus on other specific goals you may have.

Martial arts-based fitness training
Self Defense
Tai Chi
Gentle Fitness and Tai Chi for Seniors

Weapons: staff, spear, nunchucks, straight sword, broad sword, kwan dao (halberd), and dagger
Specific martial arts styles: Tiger, White Crane, Shaolin Eagle, Tai Chi, Pa Kua (baquazhang), Drunken style, Hsing Ie (xingyiquan), Hua Mountain style, and many more
Strength/Fitness Training with Sifu Sam
After many years of teaching body awareness through traditional martial arts, Sifu Sam is now certified as a personal fitness trainer as well. The focus of this training is getting strong and balanced while avoiding injury. This is achieved through accessible exercises using free-weights, bands, or body weight.
Sam’s goal has always been to help people know themselves more while promoting health and physical intelligence, and he’s super excited about this new avenue for offering this.
