Golden Dragon Kung Fu Academy brings traditional Northern Shaolin forms to a West LA studio lined with red and gold banners. Kids learn stances, forms, and eventually staff and fan work, building strength, flexibility, and serious focus along the way. Bowing in and out of class isn't just tradition — it's where the discipline starts.
Grouped by class — pick a time that works.

Can't say enough good things about Sifu Chen. the small group size means my kid actually gets individual attention. They're getting way more flexible now and so proud of it.
Solid class, kid loves going every week. Would love a bit more communication about schedule changes, but my kid is genuinely learning the staff form now.
Sifu Alvarez is fantastic with the kids — the small group size means my kid actually gets individual attention. They're remembering the whole form now and so proud of it.
Sifu Alvarez is nice enough, though communication about schedule changes could be better. My kid still enjoys it and is slowly remembering the whole form, but a couple of classes have been cancelled last minute with short notice.
Sifu Chen has so much patience, my kid was still buzzing about it at bedtime after the very first class. Street parking nearby is easy on weekday afternoons.
Can't say enough good things about Sifu Alvarez. my kid asked if we could come back tomorrow after the very first class. Weekend parking gets crowded but there's usually a spot within a block.
