Winter Session Brings in the New Year 2024!

          The end of last session was exciting to say the least. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it for our very memorable Kung Fu promotion day. Congratulations to all of our students who worked so hard to earn their promotions. There’s some exciting new colored belts in our midst! 

          For those of you who were here over Thanksgiving week, you might have been able to meet our special guest–none other than Si Gong Robert Firestine! After our students got a chance to meet him, he surprised us with a promotion for our teacher too, to seventh-degree black belt. Congratulations to our new Si Gong  Matthew and Si Tai Gong  Robert! 

          Next up is our winter session which will last from early December 2023 through the first weekend of March 2024. Now is the perfect time to begin classes if you know of a student of any age who is interested in starting their journey! Our teens and adults have some exciting new forms to learn this term, and kids will be moving through their focuses as always.

Honoring Our Kung Fu Ancestors

          In observance of a number of spiritual and cultural practices centered around this time of year, we spent some time in class giving gratitude to those who are no longer with us, but without whom the Portland Kung Fu school would not exist. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

          Happy Halloween and Dia de los Muertos to everyone! Stay safe and we will see you in class soon!

Summer Promotion in the Park!

By /

          Every year we host our Kung Fu summer promotion day in the park, and this year is no different! Our students of all classes are invited to this exciting community event. Read on to learn more. 

 

          Starting from a tradition we had from our school in Tucson, the yearly promotion in the park is a chance to showcase what we’ve learned and support the members of our community we might not always get a chance to see. We sometimes have demonstrations and performances from students or special guests, it just depends on what’s going on that year! 

 

          This year we have once again expanded our special obstacle course. Parents and families are encouraged to bring folding chairs or picnic blankets to enjoy the festivities, as we play games, practice, and of course, tackle our yearly obstacle course. Who knows, we might even have a chance to participate in your kids’ games! 

 

          We hope to see our whole community on August 19, 2023 at 1 pm for what we expect to be roughly a 2 hour event. 

What to bring

  • Water
  • Picnic blankets or other seating
  • Sunscreen
  • Shoes (not flip-flops)
  • Middle Path / Girl Power / Peaceful Warriors T-shirt (if you have one)
