This is a real Kung-Fu school with meditation, forms, drills, theory, and practical application of a unique style. The instructor is focused on his craft and sharing his physical, mental, and spiritual knowledge. You watch him and know he could easily destroy you, but would never do so because he has cultivated a wisdom lacking in many modern "bro" fighter clubs. So much of this school brought me right back to my childhood and it is EXACTLY what you should experience in a traditional martial art. This is the place you go to when you are looking for a long term place in the world where you or your child can take the time you need to not only learn to defend yourself, but also find a sense of calm and inner peace.

My daughter started about a month ago. She’s participated in plenty of sports, but this gives her much more. It gives her structure, life-long skills, and values. Already, I see a change in her for the better. In fact, today I received a call from her school to praise some recent behavior in a challenging situation. I’m positive her involvement in Kung Fu has influenced her problem-solving skills. In an effort to be a solid role model for her and improve myself, I’ve recently started classes. I’m definitely not the in-shape Marine I was in 2001, but taking steps to improve. Classes are fantastic and uplifting! It’s not just an activity, rather, it’s a commitment to a lifestyle change. Fantastic instruction in a positive environment!

I've been taking classes here for a couple of months, and it is everything I would want in a martial arts school. I'm in my 40's, and had not exercised regularly since I was a teen. The instructor (who is both personable and knowledgeable) pushes us hard, but not harder than we can handle, and I feel like I was able to jump right in. The exercise is definitely showing. I'm gaining strength and flexibility, losing weight, and, unexpectedly, I sleep much better! Benefits of exercise aside, the quality of the subject matter, and the teaching methods, are excellent. The focus is on learning, health, respect, self-confidence, and self defense. In addition to the classes, the school offers special events such as demonstrations of other styles of martial arts, and social events involving students and staff from the other school locations.

I have been studying at the Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center since September 2016. At 53 years of age, I decided to re-start martial arts training after a long break. I met with the instructor, Shen Shung Rothermel, and saw that the center has the three things I was looking for. First, the instructor teaches Pai Lum Kung Fu full time; this is his only occupation. He continues to train with his instructor. He know his students and adapts to their needs and abilities. Second, the center is well kept and well equipped for training. Finally, the students are a community who are helpful to each other and who want to learn together. Pai Lum Kung Fu offers something for everyone. Study will reveal your strengths and areas for development. Be it strength, balance, coordination, speed, agility, endurance, or memory, everyone will find their own challenges and rise to meet them. Over time, students may see that Kung Fu is more than just physical development. The skills carry over into everyday life in the form of mental focus, confidence, patience and respect for others. Students may notice greater ease of movement, better health, happiness, and reduced stress. Truly, this martial art is something you can start at any age and practise for a lifetime; you never stop learning on this journey. You should check out the Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center for yourself… you may thank yourself 20 years from now!

Elizabethtown Kung Fu is an exemplary martial arts school. It is a positive, welcoming atmosphere for people of all ages, backgrounds, and motivations where personal progress is valued and emphasized by Shen Shung Rothermel. I have had some previous experience in another style but it had been almost two decades since I actively trained. All my previous skill, conditioning, and reflexes were gone and I thought of myself as the girl who used to be a black belt once upon a time. I truly started over as a novice beginner, as a nearing 40 woman who couldn't even do two push-ups anymore. After just a few months I already feel stronger and healthier. Beyond the physicality, I've found the mental benefit to be one of the biggest motivators. As an adult with a job that takes multi-tasking to an extreme in a high pressure environment, plus all the other normal day to day adult stresses that divide everyone's attention, I can't emphasize enough the extreme cathartic benefit of being able to focus on exactly one thing at a time during class. One technique. One part of a technique. One breath in, one out. I feel like I can rightfully call myself a martial artist again because of the Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center, as can anyone that takes the chance on themselves and walks in the door. I know I'm glad I did.
