New to kung fu?
Answers to the questions we hear most from new students and parents.
Can I watch a class before signing up?
Absolutely. You’re welcome to come watch any class you’re interested in, and even participate in an informal class to see if it’s right for you. Just contact Sifu Bateman to schedule a time.
I have no martial arts experience. Is that okay?
Yes — most of our students started as complete beginners. Many of our students also come from other styles; the mantis system has something to offer at every level.
How old do kids need to be?
Our kids classes are scheduled for ages 6 and up, and boys and girls of all abilities are welcome — call to ask about younger children. Sifu decides when teens are ready to move into adult classes.
What should I wear to my first class?
Comfortable athletic clothing you can move in, and a water bottle. We’ll go over uniforms once you join.
Are rankings recognized outside the academy?
Yes. All rankings earned at Rochester Shaolin are internationally recognized by the Lee Kam Wing International Martial Arts Association.
Do you offer private lessons?
Yes. Private, one-on-one instruction is available. Contact us to discuss your goals and schedule.
Do you offer classes for people with disabilities?
Yes — we welcome students of all abilities. Please reach out so we can talk about the best fit.
