So the Shaolin monk is still in town? Thats interesting, I think I came acrossed that school once, but it was closed, but I noticed on the class schedule on the front door, that they had San Shou classes, which I found very interesting. I don't think they had taught San SHou at the Shaolin Institute, but then again I could be wrong.


Who teaches the Shaolin classes there now?


GokartMozart- Mike Patterson is still in the process of moving here. But his Kung Fu brother has been teaching here for at least a decade.(I think) His name is Dale Shigenaga and he teaches on Washington and Nellis, I believe. Why Mike Patterson is coming here, and opening a seperate school, kind of makes me wonder.

There is a JKD school, on Charleston, east of Decatur, just east of the Walmart. It's supposed to be pretty good.

There are a lot of Wing Chun schools out here just open the yellow pages and you'll see a few, or go to the Wing Chun forum and ask there, they should be able to point you in the right direction for the ones not listed.

I've heard the Wing Chun school, that teaches at the same place as the Shaolin Insitute, it's Lo Man Kam Wing Chun, I've heard from many sources that it's a great school, and I've witnessed at Winchester Park once the sticky hands of two students of that school, and I was impressed.

I came across the Academy of Jeet Kune Do/Kali, it supposedly has different locations, the number was 528-0481 I don't know if they still teach or anything else about them.

There is another Shaolin school here, that I came across, that I found interesting. I don't know the lineage. I found it interesting, because they had a teacher of 7 star Preying Mantis, and a Shui Jao (spelling?) teacher there as well. I can't vouch for them however. It's theLas Vegas Kung Fu Academy on Horizon Ridge Parkway, they're listed.

There is also a LongFist school here, on the westside of town, but I can't think of the name, or remember the address. If your interested I'll try to hunt down the address. Just let me know.

I trained at the CDF academy on Rainbow and Westcliff. I can vouch for that school. Great school, great workout, great teacher. There is Lama Pai Crane infused into the Jkd. Heavy emphasis on trapping, conditioning, and combat skills. It is not a forms school. Sifu Jack Soderberg is a very nice guy, and very patient. He also has a Tai Chi class on Monday.

i met jack about 6 yrs ago. really nice guy. never trained with him though. heard good things though

I had to stop training at his school twice. The first time I had lost my job, so it was the money issue, and right now my work schedule doesn't allow me to. In a couple months thought, I should be having my schedule changed, so I will be going back to sifu Jack.

I'm not concerned so much by the style as the quality of instruction. I'm also pretty unfamiliar with Chinese styles and what's here in Las Vegas.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!

My brother and I already checked Mike Patterson out. In our personal opinion we were not impressed. Not sure who exactly was his teacher and his claims to being a tournament champion are vague with no real proof. We tried a background check on who his teacher really was and found out his father was studying and maybe taught Mike a few tricks. This was all that is really known. After viewing what he had to offer we passed. There is many other real fighting styles in Las Vegas. Try the monk. He is really authentic and real.
