BKFA celebrates its 10-year anniversary!

September 28, 2017 marks Boulder Kung Fu Academy’s 10-year anniversary! Thank you to all my students for the thoughtful card and beautiful water fountain gift. It will make a great addition to the school.

Many students have come and gone through the years. Some stayed longer than others. Some are still here. Each has played a part in helping shape the school into what it is today. I am humbled to have the opportunity to teach such a wonderful group of students who are sincere in their practice.

Continue to remain open and empty. Listen. Observe. And keep quiet. Continue to practice turning your attention to presence always.


BKFA celebrates its 9-year anniversary!

Thanks to all students past and present who have made the school the success it is.
