2026 New Year in Kung Fu!

Middle Path Kung Fu / January 14, 2026

Hello 2026 Kung Fu Family!

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since we’ve had an update. Our Kung Fu students have been hard at work over the wintertime. From nunchucks to crane and more, 2025 brought us a lot of wonderful experiences and lessons.

Now, more than ever, it’s important to take care of ourselves–whatever that means for you. In the face of a world that is becoming increasingly hard, we find it important to foster the parts of us that are soft, too. You will find that our classes have a strong focus in nourishing the mind as well as the heart through the practice of Shaolin Kung Fu.

Stay strong out there, friends, and if you’ve been thinking of trying out a class, now is the perfect time to get started!

Flyer for our LGBTQIA+ self-defense workshop held by middle path kung fu

Sign up for Our Free 2025 LGBTQIA+ Self-Defense Workshop

Middle Path Kung Fu / July 11, 2025

The 2025 LGBTQIA+ Self-Defense Workshop is Coming!

One thing that we here at Middle Path Kung Fu strive for is finding ways we can help our community. Sometimes this means donating to schools or important causes, and other times it means bringing practical self-defense techniques to people who need them.

Every year we hold a free workshop for the LGBTQIA+ community, because we’ve found that violence against the queer community is everywhere. We’ve all seen or experienced what it’s like to be afraid. It’s not right, and if we can help one person feel safer in their own body, then that’s a win for sure.

So, bring a friend or partner and come learn an array of self-defense techniques taught by the instructors at Middle Path Kung Fu on Sunday, September 21, 2025! 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm.

Sign up soon because spaces are limited! Please spread the word to others who might benefit from this 90 minute event, and let’s have fun with it!

Announcing This Year’s Summer Promotion Demo 2025!

Middle Path Kung Fu / July 7, 2025

Get Ready for the 2025 Summer Demo!

Those of you who have been with our school for more than a year will remember that our summer’s Kung Fu promotion day is a little more special than the others. During this time, we all get together in the beautiful Portland outdoors for a day of fun and celebration. Games will be played, promotions will be given, and fun will be had!

Read more below to find out what to bring for our day of Kung Fu fun, and keep an eye out for an email with specifics!

With the success of last year’s demo, we decided to book the same place again. Some things will be the same, like the tables and location. And some things will be new. We are expecting a few performances just like last year. Look forward to showcasing what you’ve all learned with your peers and families, and seeing how far other students have come.

The promotion demo will include all classes at the same time. We will open the class much like we always do, then head into performances, our annual obstacle course, games, and promotions!

This year, we’re also including a potluck picnic for after the event for us all to enjoy together. Please bring something to share if you can! (see the incoming email very soon about guidance for this)

Mark your calendars for August 23rd
at 10 AM – roughly 12:30 PM

Families are welcome! Come watch your student showcase their skills.
Please make sure shoes have some kind of straps to prevent them falling off during the obstacle course. (no flip flops please!)
We request that students wear their belts to both make promotions and certain games go more smoothly.

Please make sure to bring:

What students should wear:

If you don't have a school t-shirt and you want one,
