Shaolin Kung fu Institute provides classes with benefits beyond what many martial arts schools offer.
Traditional training, to us, means directly learned skills passed down from teacher to student, not made-up or mixed together styles, or video-trained instructors. The institute is currently accepting serious students who are interested in dedicating themselves to learning traditional Chinese Martial Arts of the Shaolin Kung fu lineage.
The Shaolin Kung fu Institute was established In 1972 by our Chief Instructor, Shifu Rex W. McCoy, a Bishi Disciple under the Grandmaster of this system, Grandmaster Chen, Qishi and as of 2022 has trained for 55 years in this style. He is also a Bishi Disciple under Master Zhang Yun in the Internal Arts of Northern Wu style Taiji. Our main headquarters, the Shen Long Tong, is in Hightstown NJ at our original location at 106 Mercer Street. We have since, over the years, opened numerous branch locations.

Shaolin Kung fu Institute is one of the few traditional Kung fu schools in New Jersey, and has been teaching the traditional Northern Dragon Kung fu (Lung Jop Pai) and Southern dragon (Loong Ying Mor Kiu), in the Hightstown/East Windsor area since 1972. We emphasize teaching the philosophy and customs of the traditional Chinese martial arts as well as the unique techniques of this Kung fu style. We are a traditional Chinese kung fu system which is self defense oriented. Our main system is Northern Dragon kung fu whose history is over 600 years old and is a complete martial arts style utilizing strikes, kicks, joint lock, throws, weapons and numerous two-man skills suitable for street self-defense. We do not teach sport or tournament type skills.
All students are taught by certified members of the Instructional Staff Training Program and all Instructors are certified and licensed by the Institute. Our classes are designed for beginners, intermediate and experienced students. We teach adults of all ages and ability levels. We have several children’s classes in which we teach children ages 5 and up. It does not matter if you have experience in martial arts, or if this is your first time. You learn at your own pace--there is no competition here, and you are taught you one on one. Adult and Children’s classes are available with multiple class times and training days.
We believe that all students can achieve a high ranking if they are serious minded and motivated. Some traditional schools hold to old world ideas such as not allowing women to perform certain aspects of tradition and ceremony. Our school always considered all students to be capable of all aspects of our system and we have helped break down such notions in the Kung fu community.

An instructor teaches a student
Our small classes provide personal attention for all students. Our staff is trained to recognize that all students are different. We observe all students for their strengths and difficulties, and then take the time to help students through areas which are difficult for them, while also encouraging them to excel where they are skilled. Our art is self-defense orientated it is not a sport and we do not teach tournament skills.
Kung fu can be a family bonding activity, and to promote this we offer parent classes during all of our child classes.
Some of the many aspects of our training programs are:
- Physical Conditioning
- Development of character, respect and self-discipline
- Self-defense training with practical street applications
- We do not teach tournament-type techniques
