"The U.S. Kung Fu Center has been a life-changing force since I began training under Master Shi Yan Guang in 2012. His teachings of traditional Shaolin Kung Fu have not only enhanced my physical abilities but also transformed my mindset and approach to life. Through his guidance, I’ve learned the power of perseverance—a principle that has carried me through life’s most difficult challenges. Whether mastering a complex form or overcoming personal obstacles, his unwavering emphasis on discipline and self-improvement taught me to embrace hardship as an opportunity for growth. Kung Fu instilled in me the value of delayed gratification: sacrificing short-term desires for long-term goals. This mindset has brought clarity and stability to my career, helping me prioritize steady progress over instant rewards, and has given my life a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. Beyond physical and professional growth, training under Master Shi Yan Guang has brought joy, mindfulness, and balance to my life. His emphasis on respect and inner peace has strengthened my relationships and helped me connect with others on a deeper level. The pride I feel in this journey goes beyond technique—it’s rooted in the process of becoming someone I respect. The U.S. Kung Fu Center, under Master Shi Yan Guang’s leadership, is more than a training facility—it is a sanctuary of discipline, resilience, and personal transformation. I am honored to be part of it."
