Northern Shaolin in Atlanta, Georgia
Northern Shaolin has been in Atlanta for over twenty years and is still going strong.
Branching out into Athens, Georgia and even Singapore, the Northern Shaolin instructor has studied and taught this system of kung fu (or wushu) mainly due to his passion for the art.
Having returned from Singapore, Sifu Craig S. Kiessling noticed the current state of affairs of martial arts in Atlanta – that they were drying up. So he got together with his two fellow martial arts buddies and helped form PATHS, and began to once again teach the art of Northern Shaolin.
