After 3 months, my increase in knowledge of the system, its history, and of my own body has seen marked growth. I am able to see the improvements I have made, the boost in confidence in my own physicality, and a path for my growth to continue. Sifu Ely is a wonderful teacher, creating an atmosphere of patience and encouragement both from himself and other students. with such a great classroom experience, and opportunities for special workshops and seminars, the effort you put in is greatly rewarded.

Ely has been working with my grandson for well over a year now, it has been such a good experience not only for my grandson, but for myself as well. The progress Azariah has made amazing and we are looking forward to many more years. the studio is safe and always clean. We live up in Northglenn and the studio is down south but definitely worth he drive.

Ive been training at Denver Kung Fu for about a month, and having some previous martial arts experience the instruction by Sifu Ely and his instructor, Grant, is quality, methodical and patient. This is a top notch school with a great learning atmosphere.

Weve been going to Denver Kung Fu for about six months. Its been a lot of fun and we have learned a lot.

I have been enrolled for over 3 months now and have nothing but great things to say! Sifu is very knowledgeable and the community is extremely welcoming.

This has been my first martial arts experience, or adult exercise class in general, and Sifu Ely and the other students have made it completely comfortable, friendly and satisfying. The environment is such that even a total novice can jump in right away and get something meaningful out it. I would highly recommend to anyone even remotely curious.

Sifu Ely’s diligence and knowledge is unparalleled. I learned so much in a short time and my Kung Fu is really coming together, and I own it all to this great Kung Fu Family and a passionate and experienced Sifu.

Training at Denver Kung Fu has been a great experience. Sifu Ely is extremely knowledgeable and obviously passionate about Wing Chun. The atmosphere of the school is relaxed but focused, and its really easy to learn both from Ely and from the other students. Ely brings a lot of variation to his classes, and theyre always interesting. I look forward to each class and always leave feeling fantastic(ally exhausted). This is an excellent way to learn self-defense and stay fit.

My sister and I have been going to the youth class here for almost two years and it has always been fun and knowledgeable. After class I feel good physically and mentally.

I began training Ving Tsun kung fu at Denver Kung Fu in january of 2020 as a new years resolution. During a very strange year, the school worked hard to transition to online and cdc-compliant in person classes that felt safe to me. Being able to get a good work out in a small space from home with no equipment needed, as well as having the resource of the kung fu community and personalized, kind instruction from Sifu Ely Matson truly was as healthy for my mental well-being as well as physical. This style of kung fu was made for women by a woman, (though men can and do obviously use it well! i.e. Bruce Lee) and being a woman myself, studying this style of Kung Fu has helped me feel empowered and relaxed in dangerous situations. Often martial arts communities can feel macho and there is none of that atmosphere here at all. It is refreshing and illuminating and honestly i cannot recommend beginning your practice at Denver Kung Fu enough.

When I started in 2013 I thought it would be a good hobby and exercise. As time went by I understood that my body was learning a foreign language. A language that taught me self confidence, self appreciation and the courage with skills to destroy any back alley sum bag(s). We learn to control violence and end violence maybe even before a punch is thrown. Please join us.

A great place to learn about kung fu and train your mind, body, and spirit. Nice and serene environment with insightful experiences from fellow Sidai, Sihings, and of course, Sifu Ely. 10/10 would recommend to anybody trying to better themselves and to be a part of an awesome kung fu family.

This has been my first martial arts experience and it has been amazing, Ive seen a lot of fake martial arts around on youtube so when I first walked in the school I was a little skeptical, but Sifu Ely has truly shown love for the martial art itself and just being able to teach his students the true art and self discipline, Ive had to use it in a few real life situations and it has saved me and my familys life, I look forward to progressing and being able to get to know Sifu Ely more

From first time I stepped into Denver Kung Fu, I immediately felt a strong and peaceful energy knowing that its right for me. The patience, knowledge, & down-to-earth nature of Sifu Ely and his self-defense instruction radiates amongst myself and other students. Going on my 5th month, it has been an excellent paradigm shift from the first lesson. This includes, learning traditional realistic techniques that can be applied in real-world situations, building confidence and serenity within myself. Conducting my own homework, the documented linage from Ip Man, Moy Yat, Moy Tung, to Sifu Ely is as accurate as it gets with the backing of Ving Tsun in Hong Kong. Joining Denver Kung-Fu, has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I definitely recommend Denver Kung-Fu. It’s a phenomenal path in this journey of life!

Ive trained at Denver Kung Fu for four years now. I have an irregular schedule, so its great that a lot of the training is self-guided. If youre looking for a calm environment where you can study this art of subtle detail, strength, and relaxation, then look no further. Our school is a place of mutual respect and individual responsibility. I recommend Ving Tsun to anyone seeking a method of self-defense that fosters physical and psychological growth.

I have been a member of Denver Kung Fu since August 2019. In the past 7 months my entire philosophy of life has shifted. As an artist in the music industry it is very important to me to know self defense techniques and improve my energy field when dealing with aggressive actors. Studying Ving Tsun has allowed me to improve my inner strength as well as physical strength. Sifu Ely is extremely knowledgeable, patient and an esteemed pedagogue of the lineage. I am proud to train here and I highly recommend Denver King Fu for any women looking to be proactive in their self defense.

Sifu Ely has built a wonderful space for learning, teaching, and sharing Kung Fu among a great community of individuals. If youve ever heard of Ving Tsun and want to give it a go, Id highly recommend joining the school. With hard work and dedication, youll find yourself more confident not just in your self-defense capabilities but in your life in general. Plus its always a fun time :-)

Ive been training there for a long time. I cannot overestimate the positive impact it has had on my life. Practical self defense skills is only one of aspects.

I have been a student of Ving Tsun for two years and this school teaches it right! If you are looking for a Kung Fu passed down in its purest form from generation to generation, look no further. The atmosphere is calm and encouraging. You will not find better people to be around in Denver.

I train three to four times a week here on average and love every moment of it. Can’t imagine going to another school I love it!

I have been training here for several years. The instruction is of the highest quality. The instructor works hard to make sure concepts are understood and applicable. This isnt a sword-waving/board-breaking type of school. They teach you how to defend yourself when confronted with a violent assailant. It works great for everyone, but is ideal for women and smaller people. Train ving tsun to gain confidence in the streets and in every day life.

Moy Tung Family Kung Fu is strong. If you are looking for real kung fu, this is the real deal.

I wasnt sure what to expect as a newbie to Kung Fu. The Ving Tsun School has made my introduction to the art a reality. The teachers are committed, share their experiences while teaching and take their roles seriously...

Great training, fitness, and theory from a conveniently located school with a direct lineage from the earliest founders of wing chun.

Great and authentic Wing Chun Kung Fu, direct from the Ip Man

I travel to Denver to train Kung Fu every year. The school is beautiful, the instruction is detailed and precise, and the students train hard. If you are looking to learn real KUNG FU train here.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone. The level of kung fu is as deep as you want to go. The atmosphere is welcoming, inviting. The level of teaching here is the highest quality and the passion to pass on pure kung fu from teacher to student is for real. Sifu Sam Kohlenberg continues to train personally - even travelling often to train with our Grandmaster...taking his role as teacher seriously.
