Weapons Training in Bethesda

Weapons Training for Bethesda residents, about 5 miles away from our school in Kensington.

The program

Looking for weapons training in Bethesda? Shaolin Hung Fut Kung Fu School teaches weapons training to Bethesda students of every age, about 5 miles away in Kensington — an easy trip from Bethesda Row and NIH campus. Train in person on Nicholson Court, starting with a one-hour introductory class.

In a traditional Hung Fut curriculum, weapons are part of the art, not an upsell. The staff form is both the first and the final weapon taught in the system. The weapons taught between them are numerous and varied: among others the curriculum includes the Broadsword, Straight Sword, Spear, Double Daggers, Ja Ma Dao, Tiger Fork, Double Hook Swords, Double Broadswords, Double Butterfly Swords, Single and Double Chain Whips and the Kwan Dao, all applying the same stance, power and flow principles as the empty-hand training.
