Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center

A formative experience for my son, He has matured and grown in the Elizabethtown Kung Fu classes as well as gaining confidence and strength. I even notice a difference in his posture and the way he carries himself. Sifu Rothermel is kind, patient, effective, and thorough. He takes the time to coach students individually if they are struggling and always make sure everyone understands the process. The classes are filled with friendly, helpful people who truly connect under Sifu Rothermel's guidance. This is an excellent value for your money, you will not be disappointed with the level of instruction and care you receive!

A month ago I started taking classes at the Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center. It had been decades since I had a Martial Arts class and this was an attempt to get in shape. The intro class and first class kicked my butt. I was sore and tired, but feeling better. Each week has helped with my strength, conditioning and flexibility. Shen Shung Rothermel is an excellent instructor and motivator. He pushes you to do your best and is thorough in explaining the science of Kung Fu. I can't recommend this place enough and the only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars, is that I'm a tough grader......

Elizabethtown Kung Fu center is excellent. EKU offers a full martial art system strongly rooted in tradition. Each student is trained to improve health, develop positive thinking patterns, and effective self-defense. I know how rare it is to find a Kung Fu school from my many years of experience as a martial artist. Karate schools are a dime a dozen and most have wishy washy systems. Kung Fu schools are more difficult to find than karate schools but they are well worth the search or commute. If you want to learn MA, Elizabethtown Kung Fu is the best choice. Like anything worth attaining: patience, self-discipline, and willingness to develop are elements you should prepare for. I have a black belt in two other MA systems but willingly accept 'starting over' in learning this system because I recognize just how good it is.

I've been training here for almost 5 months and I love it! The style is is a great balance of health, meditation, and fitness. The classes are physically challenging enough to feel like a good workout but not so intense that a completely out of shape person (like me) can't keep up. I never feel like I can't keep up, which gives me the confidence to push harder. Shen Shung Rothermel has a very engaging teaching presence that keeps you focused and motivated. Each new concept is broken down into elementary movements so you never feel like you don't know what you are doing. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone interested in martial arts or getting active!

If you're looking for a place to learn martial arts Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center is the place to go. Owner and head instructor Shen Shung Rothermel is excellent. He breaks down every strike, kick, stance and block in a way that is conducive to learning. I have been training here since September and have been impressed with my progress. Stop in and try the free introductory class; you will be happy you did!
