It's been a little over a year since I've joined Northern Shaolin Academy, Audubon PA and I simply love it here. What I have recognized in the time I have spent here so far is that this school is serious about teaching martial arts in the purest form. Master (Sigung) Norman Smith is an amazing guy. He is the most humble, honest, sincere, extremely and highly skilled person who passionately devots his time to each individual to correctly and accurately impart knowledge of the art(s). All the Sifu's in the school are amazing people and they are also very skilled and devoted to teaching the art. I consider myself extremely priviledged to be under the tutiladge of Master, Norman Smith and all the Sifu's. I highly recommend this school to anybody who has a desire to learn martial arts. You can rest assure that you will get your moneys worth and then some!!!

I have been a student at the Northern Shaolin Academy for over five years. I do not know where to begin to say what good Northern Shaolin and it's fine teachers have done for me. Master Norman Smith is an amazing teacher! He is patient, knowledgeable, and has a knack for making you feel like you are the most important person in the world. He wants you to become the best you possibly can. He encourages his students to work hard and to live , and train, up to their potential. My other teachers (Sifus Peter, John, Billy, Weipo and Ray) have also helped me immensely. All are very encouraging to their students. Each, in their way, has contributed their own unique skills and perspective to make me the Tai Chi practitioner I am today. I am proud to know all my teachers. They have a passion for Tai Chi and it shows in everything they do. This school is an oasis for me and the teachers and students are like family. I love this school!
