Welcome to Rochester Shaolin Training Academy

Throughout the generations people have gone to the Shaolin Temple to learn the arts from the monks within. Very few were admitted and even fewer were given the opportunity to train in the various styles of Kung Fu. One of the most sought after styles originating from Shaolin is Praying Mantis. Wong Long, a expert martial artist, utilized the best move

ments from 17 martial styles found at the Shaolin temple and combined them with the fighting prowess of the praying mantis and thus is known as the founder of Northern Praying Mantis. Sheng Xiao, a traveling martial artist, was one of the first known masters to leave the Shaolin Temple with this rare style and to begin the passing on of its techniques from generation to generation. Who we are

Rochester Shaolin Training Academy was established in 1991 by head instructor Sifu Brian Bateman, an eighth generation closed door disciple of Grandmaster Lee Kam Wing of the Seven Star Praying Mantis Style. Here at Rochester Shaolin Training Academy we specialize in the Seven Star Praying Mantis Style brought to us from Founder Wong Long. Sifu Bateman has a long history with this style of Kung Fu and has been taught by many of the great masters of our time. Sifu Bateman is the only certified Sifu in the Rochester Area. What we do

Students of all ages train at our school for self defense, martial knowledge, discipline, and much more! We pride ourselves as being one of the only schools in this region that trains traditional Chinese martial arts, as well as passes on the ancient customs and traditions so our students are knowledgeable about the history of our art. Seven Star Praying Mantis training, Qi Gong conditioning, Qi Sau training, and Chinese Lion Dance are all programs that are taught to our students. Our children's classes are some of the most highly attended, where they learn discipline and control at the forefront of their training. Rochester Shaolin Training Academy provides martial instruction that is a rarity in today's age. A traditional format with strong lineage ties sets us apart from other school
