The Forge Martial Arts

The Forge Martial Arts operates at 1408 Hugur Avenue in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The academy delivers traditional and tactical martial arts training across Shaolin Kung Fu, Krav Maga self-defense, ITF Taekwondo, and Muay Thai kickboxing. Instruction is directed by Jason "JJ" Steelman, known by the Buddhist name Shi Miao Hao, a 36th-generation Shaolin warrior monk who trained for nearly two years at the Shaolin Monastery in Dengfeng, Henan Province, China under Shifu Shi Heng Chao. Steelman guides students through traditional form work, conditioning exercises, and combative self-defense applications. Programs serve youth, teens, and adults, featuring classes in International Taekwon-Do Federation techniques, Krav Maga defensive tactics against real-world threats, and traditional Shaolin forms. Youth and teen tracks blend Kung Fu and Taekwondo fundamentals to develop discipline, motor skills, athletic agility, and physical balance. Prospective students and community members can view class schedules and contact the academy through its official website to begin training.
