TESTIMONIALS
Please feel free to read testimonials from past and present students on their martial journeys
“I am a deep believer that everything happens for a reason and that everyone has a place in life. However, it is up to each individual to make it happen. The old proverb states that "When the Student is ready, a Master will appear." I believe that I came to this school at the right time in my life; the time when I was ready.”
Kevin Sears
“There was something deeper here. I wasn´t learning how to overcome others. I was learning how to overcome myself. SiGung Cabais wasn´t pushing me, he was giving me the tools to push myself. At the end of class we were asked why we train the way that we do - the answer "To reach development of the mind through the discipline of the body." At that moment I realized that I may have found what I´ve been looking for.”
Ross Hyman
“What I am building for myself is something no man can take away. I no longer look for those things that make me happy, I am defining those things that make me happy. I am no longer just a martial artist, I am a student of Shaolin Lohan Kung Fu. In the Shaolin Lohan School of Kung Fu, I have found myself, and I have found family in the fellowship of those like me who study and train alongside me.”
Andy Walls
“Kung-Fu has also made me aware of how the mind and body are inextricably linked. Most of the obstacles that I have had to overcome in Kung-Fu were not physical so much as mental, my fear of the unknown kept me from realizing my full potential.”
Harvey Meeker
“This has been a great experience and inspiration that will help me in the future. "In the darkest hour the soul is replenished and given strength to continue and endure." - Heart Warrior Chosa. I have learned so much from Sigung Vincent A. Cabais and the rest of my instructors and friends. This will never leave me and will always be a large part of who I have become. I am one of the lucky few who was able to find a place to truly belong.”
Madalyn Westermayer
“So many things about kung-fu amaze me. How it has improved the quality of life I live? The way I look at things has completely changed. I feel my family bond has grown. Not to mention my body is stronger, more flexible, able to perform with dexterity and agility, less prone to injury, operating with an increased metabolism, and much healthier. Spiritually, my faith has grown leaps and bounds. Professionally my intensity has me pushing better doors open”
Abram Whitehead
“It truly changed my life, not only on a physical level, but on a mental and spiritual level. Even though I am in the greatest shape of my life, that is just a side effect of what this Shaolin system is doing for me on a deeper level. I achieved things I would have never thought possible because I believe in myself more than ever, and Sifu taught me to push myself until I achieve my goal!.”
Eric Sears
“I realize now that I have the power within me to succeed at whatever I will myself to do. That statement is a lot stronger than it sounds when you first read it. Some of the things I wish to succeed at require me to change my very nature. I don´t have to do these things. I choose to. If I had never found Kung Fu, I may have never realized that I had such goals”
David Hahn
“My instructor and my Sifu always say that people come here for a change. I´ve realized that and have been humbled by it.”
Courtney Seal
“This was exactly what I was looking for - serious people doing a serious art. This art presented a mental challenge as well. In fact, the more I studied at the school, the more I realized my boundaries were mostly mental.”
Nelson Day
“ I have come closer to mastering my mind body and spirit while among the teachers and students of this school more than any other time in my life.”
Ben Barret
“Coming to this school means being prepared to test yourself, to commit yourself both in and out of class. It means learning authentic kung fu. I´m still in school and more enthusiastic than ever about what I´ve learned, learning and will learn both about myself and kung fu.”
Stephen Newlon
“I believe that martial arts is a vehicle to mastery of ones self and environment. I think that the main reason I have found a home at this school over others is that the "Shaolin Lohan School of Kung Fu" is a school that teaches self-improvement rather than a sport or just a fighting technique.”
Brad Davenport
“A lot of the things that I can now do, I never would have thought I would able to accomplish when I was 10 years old.”
