ABOUT

7-Star Phoenix Shao-lin Kung Fu

At 7-Star Phoenix Shao-lin Kung Fu, we foster an encouraging environment where you will develop greater confidence, energy, and physical and emotional skills through the most diverse and colorful authentic Kung Fu training!

The various styles you will learn cultivate the yang (external) and the yin (internal), as both work together to reveal the whole and complete you.

Enjoy a well-rounded balance of training for body, mind, and spirit in our classes and reap the benefits of up-leveling your physical fitness, internal balance, and personal well-being.

OUR LINEAGE

As Masters from the Shao-lin temples expanded to other areas of the world, they brought with them rich knowledge and training. Our roots trace back to the Fukien (Fujien) temple in Southern China, and from there, 1500 years to the original Shao-lin temple in Honan Province.

Over 30 years ago, our Colorado Springs school (formerly Chinese Shao-lin Center) was the first satellite school to branch out under the guidance of now 9th Degree Senior Elder Masters Sharon and David Soard of Denver, CO.

We are privileged and so appreciative of this opportunity to learn the extensive, rare, and unique styles of authentic Shao-lin Kung Fu today!

MASTER TANISHA MARTIN

Tanisha Martin, founder of 7-Star Phoenix, has trained for over 23 years in traditional Shao-lin Kung Fu, earning the rank of 6th Degree Black Belt Master in 2019. She acquired her kung fu studio (formerly Chinese Shao-lin Center) as the owner and head instructor in 2011, and soon after began offering personal development coaching programs as well.

All of 7-Star Phoenix’s offerings, including the complete, authentic Kung Fu program, and Master Tanisha’s transformational SELF-Empowered Life Formula coaching programs, exist to serve those who want to stop living as victims to other people and/or circumstances, step into their own awareness, self-acceptance, and power, and embrace life to achieve more than they thought was possible.

Learn more about how pairing your exhilarating Shao-lin training with empowerment and success coaching for individuals and businesses can bring forward your best self.

Master Tanisha inspires and empowers others through dynamic talks and workshops. When applicable, she speaks openly and shares personal insights about challenges such as these: 

  • depression
  • anxiety
  • teen pregnancy
  • adoption
  • divorce
  • domestic violence including sexual assault
