Shaolin Institute

Lyons Recreation Center, 624 Louisiana Ave, New Orleans, LA

About this gym

The New Orleans campus started with Shifu DeRu teaching Tai Chi classes at a local senior center in a health and wellness collaborative effort in 2001. When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, the Institute was a place of refuge to many students and strangers dealing with the stressors of rebuilding, and donated thousands of dollars to assist students in need. Since then, the Institute has produced the "Shaolin Legacy Show", hosted Kung Fu Sanshou competitions, and taken students abroad to compete internationally. The campus has continued to grow and now offers classes 6 days a week in the New Orleans metro area, drawing students from as far as the Northshore, Kenner, the Westbank, and Slidell.
