Sunshine Kickstarts New Spring Kung Fu Session ’24

Middle Path Kung Fu / March 18, 2024

Welcome to the 2024 Spring Kung Fu session!

Welcome back sunshine! It’s springtime in Portland, and it seems the whole town is out enjoying the sunshine after a chilly winter. We had our first 70-degree weekend on the first day of our kung fu spring session a few days ago!

We had several promotions last session (Si Mo included! Wow!) and want to congratulate you all on some hard work! Check out some of our class photos below.

Some of our classes have really blossomed over the last few months, but we still have some availability in our Girl Power and our teen class, so if you know anybody interested, let them know!

Winter Kung Fu Session 2024 Brings Exciting New Promotions And Surprises!

Middle Path Kung Fu / November 28, 2023

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

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!

Middle Path Kung Fu / July 15, 2023

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.
