Our Story

I started Kung Fu Yes driven by a personal journey that transformed my life through martial arts. It began in my childhood in a bustling neighborhood, where my curiosity about self-defense led me to explore Kung Fu, which I soon realized was more than just fighting techniques; it was a pathway to self-discovery. I found solace and strength within those movements, and as I matured, I understood the impact this practice had on my mental and emotional well-being. Each punch was a step toward resilience, and each Qi Gong session deepened my connection to my own energy. Richmond’s rich cultural blend encouraged me to tailor our classes to honor different traditions while teaching practical self-defense. My dream has always been to create a welcoming space where anyone, regardless of their background or experience, can learn not only to defend themselves but to thrive in their everyday lives. Every day, I am motivated to pass on the wisdom I have gained while fostering a nurturing environment that cultivates strength and community. Each student’s journey becomes part of our shared story, enriching us all.
