GoogleIt was truly a very profound & beautiful experience. I would anybody recommend who wants to learn more about him herself and connect with nature the body and beauty. For me the disciplined movement classes were on point. Strong, professional , challenging, surprising.. perfect. And then.. Only the flowers are already so pretty, and there are the cats and clouds, Mountain View’s, the unbelievably good food. And all the other spiritual and inspiring things you can only experience.. Just do it.
Thank you so much for a fantastic retreat. It was a full schedule on the weekdays with a wide variety. There was a range of capabilities in our group and no one was left behind or held back. I've finished feeling rejuvenated and can't wait for another chance to go back. The weather was ideal in February. Food was delicious and nutritious. The stay gave me mental clarity and inspiration to carry on at home! And as an animal lover, it was great to have the cats around.
Name: Mohammed Raza Age: 25 From: United Kingdom 🇬🇧 Koom is honestly amazing if I could give 100 stars 🌟 I would. Honestly I went solo had no clue was terrified travelling alone but Sham and his family were so welcoming. All the other guests were really friendly and awesome. The best what I enjoyed was Sham is patience its not all about training its about resting which I struggled with I just wanted to make the most of my time. We did loads of stuff power stretching, tai chi, Qi Gong and meditation to name a few. Every day was different but so fun 😁 the 2 weeks I spent there went flying. Inshallah I'll be back I'll take the lessons to deal with the day to day life and improve myself further. If anyone who is curious about Koom before going and just wants to speak to someone who has been my doors are open. Koom is amazing its honestly the most beautiful place its I just can't say enough to compliment how great Koom is. Sham has genuinely built an amazing place. If you thinking about going don't think do it u won't regret it.
Peace and Powerful Teachings My two weeks at Koom were genuinely transformative—a true life reset. Located on a peaceful olive farm near Marrakech, this is more than just a retreat; it’s a sanctuary built on heart and expertise. The staff, Sham and his family are the soul of Koom. Their warmth, generosity, and genuine care created an atmosphere where I immediately felt safe and welcome. Every interaction was filled with kindness. The food was sensational—fresh, home-cooked Moroccan meals (tagines, fresh produce from the farm) that were both nourishing and delicious, fueling the intensive days perfectly. The teachings of Kung Fu and Tai Chi were exceptional. The blend of rigorous Kung Fu training for strength and mental focus, combined with the gentle, deeply grounding Tai Chi practices, offered a perfect balance. I learned so much about internal energy and self-discipline. Most importantly, Koom allowed for a deep decompression. The consistent daily schedule, the beautiful, quiet environment, and the emphasis on internal practice helped me shed two years of accumulated stress. I left feeling profoundly lighter, stronger, and more centered. If you are seeking genuine martial arts training alongside deep spiritual and mental restoration, this is the place. I can't recommend it highly enough. Madeline, 40, Ireland
I spent two weeks at KOOM and I would not want to miss it. Sham and all the people there are so kind and welcoming, the food is great and the place is beautiful and gives you the opportunity to dive deep into the experience. 2-3 trainings a day, and daily meditations and talks make it a very intense but balanced experience. I was generally fit but had no martial arts experience before, it worked great for me but also for others here with various levels of experience and fitness. Come with an open mind, you will be able to take something very good with you. I would come here again 100%, also if you have any doubts or questions just reach out, they are very open for different solutions :)
