Jenny Houle
Jenny has been a student with the Idaho Shaolin Center since September of 2017. In that time she has achieved the level of 3rd degree black belt. "I absolutely love the stimulation Kung Fu brings to me physically and mentally. As someone who always wants to learn something new, Kung Fu has an amazing amount to offer! I don't think it will be possible for me to run out of new and exciting challenges in my training".
