General Information:

 

Goldsmith Kung Fu and Mixed Martial Arts classes are taught in a ~2000 square foot matted room in partnership with the Taekwondo & Hapkido Academy of Chapel Hill. Goldsmith Kung Fu teaches the art of Kajukenbo/Wun Hop Kuen Do in accordance with the philosophical meaning of Kajukenbo: “through this fist art one gains long life and happiness.” Through the study of WHKD, students will not only gain the ability to defend themselves, but also an overall physical, mental, and spiritual wellness and strength. Classes focus on practical self-defense skills that translate well to both the street, and for those who are interested, combat sport.

 

For more information, you can either email Sifu Jason, call us at 503-799-0614 (cell phone), as we are not the principal users of the space we operate out of.

 

Address:

 

We are located at: 1706 E Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, NC 27514.

 

Schedule:

 

  • Tuesdays: 8:30- 10:00 pm.  Beginner's Focused: material centered on white and yellow belts.

Classes are open to students of all skill levels (and prior martial arts experience), and follow the curriculum outlined on this webpage. Classes are for adults only (16+) with one exception: parents with children (10+) may enroll jointly with one of their parents. As a practically-oriented martial art, WHKD requires a strong understanding of the consequences of your actions in a self-defense situation, which is why we require a parent to attend classes with their child.
