Our Girl Power Kung Fu logo

Girl Power

All Levels
Ages 6-12

A martial arts program for the empowerment of girls and female presenting/identifying kids; a program originating from Si Tai Gong Robert Firestine.


Girl Power focuses on the exploration of self-respect, self-defense, and self-confidence through the practice of Shaolin Kung-Fu. Our classes are about fun, discipline, expression, and inner strength while supporting one another along the journey. In an era where the flame of self worth is beginning to ignite for women and girls before the public eye, it is important to continue that momentum into the next generation. To learn to defend oneself is important, to learn that you are someone worth defending is priceless.

Peaceful Warriors

All Levels
Ages 6-12

A martial arts program that focuses on the inner journey for boys and male presenting/identifying kids, a program originating from Si Tai Gong Robert Firestine.


Peaceful Warriors teaches boys self-respect, respect for others, and self-expression. In a time where we’re seeing more and more voices coming out of the #metoo and #timesup movement, it’s important to support the change in our world from both sides. A peaceful nature is often treated as “un-masculine” or “soft”. But we believe that it is much harder to find the peaceful alternative to a conflict, and masculinity means more than just aggression. Through our training, the students explore the physical and self-defense aspect of the art, while also being creative and self-expressive.

For trans, non-binary, and gender neutral students:
You are welcome in whichever class you feel most comfortable with. Please feel free to contact us if you want to discuss which class feels right to you.

Middle Path Shaolin Kung Fu for Teens​

All Levels
Ages 12-18

The Middle Path Shaolin Kung Fu Academy

Beginner Level
Ages 18+

A holistic and modern kung fu class for adults


This program focuses on the journey of self-mastery. Through the practice of the basics, animal styles, self-defense, weapon training, and philosophical & spiritual discussion, we learn about our innermost self. In learning who that innermost self is, we discover that we don’t need to prove our worth to world, but rather that we were always worthy.

Kids and Teens

We welcome anyone wanting to try out a class to send us a message to let us know that you are interested. We will then email you the registration forms and discuss when you’d like to attend your free try out class.

While you’re trying out your first class, we suggest the student wear whatever they’re most comfortable moving around in. Once registered, we will be able to order or provide you with your very own uniform!

Our kids’ classes are for all levels of experience. We structure our classes around a revolving cycle of topics and styles, so advanced and beginner students all benefit from lessons. Students will also learn individual focus items at their own pace.

Kids and teens classes have 12-week sessions. You can check when our next session begins on our calendar!

Nope! Kids can join classes at any time in the session. The only difference is that more often than not, they will not be eligible to test for a promotion until the session following. Sometimes, kids find this to be more approachable anyway, as they can observe the testing process during their first go-around.

 

All practice and progress will count towards the next session’s test!
