Owner / Head Instructor

Master Warren Yetman has been training in Shaolin-Do in both Kung Fu and Tai Chi for more than 20 years, reaching 6th Degree Black Belt under his instructor 8th Degree Senior Master Joe Schaefer and 10th Degree Grandmaster Sin Kwang The’.

We strive to inspire our students of all ages and ability levels, and guide their personal development in hopes to achieve their personal goals.

For centuries, specific physical and mental exercises have been passed down and refined in the martial art systems of the Chinese Shaolin Temples. Kung Fu and Tai Chi combine the internal awareness of yoga with the power of defense-based exercises, all screened through the Buddhist and Taoist beliefs of the temples. These practices are useful for body awareness, physical strength, coordination, mental fortitude, and self-defense applications. At Pensacola Kung Fu & Tai Chi, we believe these practices are valuable. They have come to us through our Grandmaster Sin The’ and we strive to preserve them and pass them on.

Pensacola Kung Fu & Tai Chi is a place where people interested in embodying these ancient arts can find authentic instruction and a community of other like-minded students.

I am learning Tai Chi with Master Warren at the Pensacola Kung Fu & Tai Chi. I chose Tai Chi to supplement my fitness regimen with an ancient and renown program of movement, balance and flexibility. I have studied several martial arts most of my adult life. I have a background in judo, taekwondo, and aikido. I chose Tai Chi because it is remarkably similar to Aikido in both their philosophies and style. Master Warren has a teaching ability to personalize your learning and an understanding based on your experiential background. I highly encourage everyone to contact Master Warren to determine if Tai Chi or Kung fu is for you. – Bob
Within the first few minutes of meeting Master Warren you realize that the title “Master” is not merely an honorific. It speaks to a depth of knowledge, skill, and artistry that is truly impressive. What does come as a surprise is his joy and enthusiasm for teaching. Every student, is taught individually, and at their own pace regardless of past experience. As a student of both Tai Chi and Shaolin I really enjoy how they compliment one another. There truly is a sense of community amongst all the students, everyone is there to learn and happy to help. It is an awesome environment. – Rachael
