Shaolin NPC Johnsonville is a traditional Chinese martial arts club on Johnsonville Road, one of three centres the Shaolin Kung Fu Association runs in the Wellington region. It teaches Shaolin Gaocan Mun Nam Pai Chuan Kung Fu, which the site describes as combat and self-defence training with a strong emphasis on respect and tradition. Classes are split into three age groups: PeeWee for 4 to 6 year olds, children for 7 to 12, and teens and adults from 13. The venue has a large training area and an outdoor space as well.
The club draws students from Newtown, Brooklyn, Wellington Central, Kelburn, Kilbirnie, Berhampore, Island Bay and Lyall Bay. The site says students of all abilities train together, and that instructors go through a certification process. The art is built around discipline as well as fitness, so the mental side of training is part of each class. The association behind the centres is a charitable incorporated society, with its headquarters in Hendon, London.
