About
Master Qi Kungfu School in Olivette
Master Qi Kungfu School is a traditional Chinese Shaolin kung fu academy at 9423 Dielman Rock Island Industrial Drive in Olivette, just west of the St. Louis city line and serving the metro from the inner-belt and Olive Boulevard corridor. The school is led by Master Qi, a 32nd-generation Shaolin Temple disciple with more than 30 years of practice, a direct lineage tracing back to the historical Shaolin Temple in Henan Province, China, and a credential level rarely found in U.S. kung fu schools.
