About This Business

Located in the heart of Provence, Temple Shaolin France is a martial arts school that offers a variety of disciplines for both children and adults. The school provides a fun and educational learning environment for kids, focusing on building confidence, discipline, and teamwork through exercises and games. For adults, the school offers a comprehensive program in the ancient art of Kung Fu, guiding students towards mastery of techniques, physical fitness, and inner wisdom. Additionally, the school provides courses in MMA, wrestling, and Sanda, combining striking, submission, and close combat techniques. The school's founder and principal instructor, Shifu Alex, also known as Alexandre Cordaro, is a former competitor in Karate Shotokan, Yoseikan Budo, traditional Kung Fu, and Wushu. He established the Temple in 2018, following the success of his previous establishment, Feiyue, in the center of Peyrolles. As the main instructor, Shifu Alex teaches Kung Fu classes for both children and adults, as well as Sanda, MMA, and acrobatics. Despite his responsibilities in building the Temple, he continues to teach martial arts in the evenings. The Temple Shaolin France is proud to have received a congratulatory letter from Anne-Laurence Petel, a deputy from the Bouches-du-Rhône region, following the exceptional results of its students at the French Kung Fu championships in Nice. With a total of 113 awards, including 28 gold medals, the Temple's students have demonstrated their dedication and mastery of the martial art of Kung Fu. The school's participation in the French championships has been highly successful, with numerous awards and recognition on the national stage. The Temple Shaolin France is committed to providing a supportive and challenging environment for its students to grow and develop their skills in the martial arts.

Disappointment in Provence: Overhyped and Underwhelming Experience

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Temple Shaolin France. As someone who has practiced martial arts for years, I was excited to join a school with such a rich history and reputable instructor. Unfortunately, the classes were disorganized, and the instruction lacked clarity. Shifu Alex seems more focused on his own legacy than on providing personalized attention to his students. The facilities are also not as impressive as I expected, given the school's claims of being a premier martial arts institution. The 'fun and educational learning environment' they promise for kids felt more like a chaotic playground, and the adults' program, while comprehensive on paper, felt watered down in practice. For a school that boasts about its numerous awards and recognition, I found the overall atmosphere to be surprisingly unprofessional and uninspiring. The congratulatory letter from Anne-Laurence Petel and the mention of 113 awards, including 28 gold medals, at the French Kung Fu championships, seemed like an attempt to deflect from the school's shortcomings rather than a genuine testament to its excellence. I left feeling underwhelmed and overcharged. Unless significant changes are made, I would not recommend Temple Shaolin France to anyone seeking a serious and supportive martial arts community.
