Program Overview
Zen City Foundation, a non-profit online school based in Houston, Texas, is excited to announce a partnership with Chuan Wu Kung Fu Institute. This collaboration will provide online martial arts classes for the community, offering a unique opportunity for participants worldwide to experience traditional martial arts training.
Chuan Wu Kung Fu Institute, based in San Jose, California, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit organization dedicated to the preservation, teaching, and global sharing of traditional Shaolin kung fu. Rooted in the Mandarin term chuan wu (傳武 / truyền võ), meaning “the spreading of martial arts,” Chuan Wu carries forward a legacy of martial discipline that dates back to ancient China.
The institute is led by Master David, a 5-stripe black belt, whose vision is to promote self-discipline, physical fitness, and self-defense skills while building a global community of martial arts enthusiasts. His guidance brings both authenticity and a deep sense of purpose to every class and interaction.
As a non-profit, Chuan Wu is committed to making authentic martial arts education accessible and affordable, focusing not only on developing physical skill but also on nurturing character, discipline, integrity, and respect, which are core values at the heart of every kung fu practitioner's journey.
Chuan Wu’s curriculum offers a comprehensive system of traditional Shaolin kung fu, including internal and external training, qi gong, and other ancient practices that cultivate strength in the mind, body, and spirit.
Instruction is delivered in a noncompetitive, student-centered environment where individuals of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to learn at their own pace. Family participation is welcomed, and the institute maintains affordable tuition, ensuring that anyone with the willingness to learn has the opportunity to do so.
Chuan Wu believes that learning kung fu is more than physical training. It is a sacred trust, a discipline of life, and a path to personal transformation.
