Welcome to Goldsmith Kung Fu and Mixed Martial Arts, where you can learn practical self defense, kung fu and mixed martial arts. Headquartered in Chapel Hill, NC we are dedicated to teaching you the martial art of Wu Hun Dao (Way of the Martial Spirit in Mandarin), which is a method of Wun Hop Kuen Do Kung Fu, which is a style of the Kajukenbo system and America’s first mixed martial art. Wun Hop Kuen Do means “Combination Fist Art” in Cantonese, and it is a practical, street-based style of kung fu that focuses on developing you into a complete martial artist that is able to express your personal creativity as a martial artist. It is often described as a “system without a system” and we believe that your training should always strive to be “practical, effective, and realistic.” If you are looking for an expansive, practical martial arts experience covering all ranges of fighting, from grappling to striking, to weapons, the art of Wu Hun Dao offered at Goldsmith Kung Fu is a perfect fit. Ideal for both the cage and the street, the skills you learn with us will enable to you to defend yourself in any situation.

Interested people of all skill levels, from beginners to black belts, are welcome to come and try out a free introductory class. As a “system without a system” our curriculum is highly adaptive and prior experience is viewed as an asset both for the student and for the class as a whole. We look forward to working with both people completely new to martial arts and those with black belts in other styles; it is our belief that everyone adds something unique and valuable to the class.
