About this gym
The Forge Martial Arts Academy was founded by JJ Steelman, who spent a year and a half training at the source of Shaolin Kung Fu in Dengfeng, Henan Province, and later received the monk name Shi Miao Hao as a 36th generation Shaolin lineage holder under Shifu Shi Heng Chao. The Forge brings authentic Shaolin-rooted martial arts education to Cheyenne, teaching Shaolin Kung Fu as its primary art alongside Krav Maga and practical self-defense, Muay Thai and Kickboxing, and ITF Taekwondo carried forward in honor of the late Sensei Willie TuQwik Johnson. The school serves kids, teens, and adults with no prior experience required, and offers a full free week of unlimited classes to every prospective student.
