The Jade Centre is located in the heart of Porirua City, 14 kms north of Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. The Centre is a unique facility which provides  excellent accommodation  for 45 people. These are comfortable  motel style units designed around a central courtyard training area. An adjoining indoor facility, fully carpeted, with shower and changing areas is used as the main teaching venue.

The Centre is close to the heart of a thriving city, and  has its own secluded and private martial arts training areas. It is handy to shopping, beaches, and city type entertainment and rail and bus depots. The Jade Centre courtesy coach is provided for pickups at airport and ferry terminals.

The Centre also has its own martial arts shop with uniforms, T-shirts, shoes, weaponry, and a whole range of other martial arts equipment.

A stay at the
Jade Centre is a worthwhile experience for those who wish to learn a sophisticated martial arts system and develop an understanding of themselves, their bodies and their spirituality.

Built in 1985, this complex is also the headquarters of the Shaolin Chuan Fa Association. Grand Master Gemmell and his highly trained Shaolin Instructors, conduct courses in the art forms of Shaolin Kempo, Tai Chi,  Chi Gung, Ba Gua, H'Singi, Self Defense, Mulan Boxing, Chinese and Okinawan Weaponry.
