Strengthen Your Mind and Body

Our goal in teaching Jow Ga Kung Fu is to provide you with a simple and reliable path to fitness, focus and self-defense. All you need to bring is yourself in loose clothing and sport shoes. We ask that when you come to class that you work hard.

Jow Ga Kung Fu at a basic level consists of low stances, powerful hand techniques and targeted kicking.

We offer Jow Ga Kung Fu classes tailored for adults of all ages (18+), whether you are in town for a short time, or are in DC long-term.

We understand the challenges of balancing demanding work schedules, travel commitments, and other responsibilities; our flexible class schedule allows you to train at your own pace and schedule, practicing whenever it fits into your busy life.

Classes consist of a warm-up of stretching, strength-training and basic movements, followed by drills, form (memorized series of movements) practice, and practical applications. We also learn to meditate, to drum, lion dance, dragon dance and spar. Testing based on forms is one way to measure your progress, which we do. Posted near the classroom entrance is a list of expectations that we have from you, and expectations that we have of ourselves as teachers. We encourage you to come and visit and take a look around.

We have been comitted to community welfare for over 30-years in the same location by keeping tuition costs low, and teaching free Kung Fu to DC children. Find us near 14th and U Streets NW, Washington DC, in the red building with the dragon next to the door.
