My son and I both attend the Las Vegas Kung Fu Academy. I can't say enough about this academy. The instructors are supportive and truly caring about our growth - They are good with kids and adults alike! Let's not forget about the fellow students, there's definitely a strong support system of like minded people, all there for the same reason. As a huge plus, the school is clean and well maintained, I highly recommend!

The Las Vegas Kung Fu Academy is an amazing place for kids to learn martial arts. Isaac, Kevin, and Renee are fantastic instructors. They take the time to get to know the kids individually while encouraging and building teamwork. Each class is a great work out full of fun, movement, and a variety techniques/styles that keep it fresh. I also like each class has great life skills conversations and how to apply it. It's especially nice that class schedules have flexibility so that when life happens there is always a day and time that works. Two years later, my daughter still gets excited and loves going to class.

Las Vegas Kung Fu Academy is the absolute best! Our daughter has been attending for the past year and loves it. The instructors are incredible and I cannot say enough for how thankful we are to have found this school. Great central location in Henderson. Classes range from all ages and everyone who attends are kind and super friendly. Highly recommend!

I just have to say this place is worth so much more than just the five stars! Trust me, I've done all the research for everybody! I went to the top 7 in the city for martial arts. From my area way up in the northwest Las Vegas Kung Fu academy was the farthest away south.... I went and did free classes at all of them and was blown away by LV Kung Fu! I read the reviews but had to see for myself. From the moment I came in instructor Isaac was literally outstanding! They don't leave any kid out and has become a big mentor for my son..This is a family-owned martial arts studio... Every single instructor is outstanding including the more knowledgeable kids helping the new ones! Instructor Renee is Isaac's mom and along with Isaac's dad as the senior instructor, you could not find a better place to train, learn, development of your kids, adults, and all of the different skills that you learn! They teach you a piece of every martial art, the kids have fun, they learn discipline, we love it here and feel like a family! Nothing we wouldn't do for them instead of the other way around they are that good of people! They do so much more than just the Martial Art. They make sure your kids stay focused on their task, make it fun, but stay on task, teach them to value their parents, value the teachers at school, be good citizens and train hard.. I would like my whole family to join including myself! This place is the complete package and well worth my 35-minute drive one way without bad traffic.... That's how much this place meant to me and to get my son here over all the other ones that were close by my home within 5 to 15 minutes... I knew it in my gut when I walked into the door that this was the place and 4.5 months later feel it even more!... I went ahead and did free classes at all of the other places that were closer for my son 1st... I saved LV Kung Fu for last and I stayed with them without even needing the free week I knew it was the right choice.... Don't waste your time going somewhere else, I just wanted to be sure.... They are the most knowledgeable, caring, and best instructors I have ever come across! The students are also outstanding! My son loves every kid in the class so much that he likes them better than the other 30 kids in his classroom at school! For his birthday the first people he wanted to invite was his Kung Fu team. Many thanks to all of the instructors as there are a few more that I don't know personally but watched how well they taught classes....A+

I am so impressed with the Las Vegas Kung Fu Academy. My son has been attending for just over a year, and although we live across town, it’s well worth the travel. I’m happy that he can learn a martial art, and most of all, be involved in a community that fosters upstanding character development in leadership, kindness, respect, responsibility, and discipline. It is really palpable how the owners put their hearts and best energy behind the operations. We are so grateful!
