A Bit More...

Sifu Julie and Sifu Dario founded North Sky Kung Fu. They're both lifetime martial arts practitioners. They believe Qi Gong and Tai Chi classes are essential practices, especially now. Our space — as well as our practice — is peaceful, timeless, and focused on staying healthy and staying centered.

We make the healing and balancing power of Qi Gong and Tai Chiavailable to everyone, as part of our dedication to Chinese  martial arts.  Our instructors have years of experience teaching Qigong and Tai Chi to students of all levels.  At our centrally located studio, we offer both Yang and Wu style Tai Chi classes, and a range of Qigong sets learned from a lineage of traditional Chinese practitioners.


We  strongly believe in the importance of bringing the mind/body practice of Qigong into daily life with regular practice. We teach classic forms such as:


The 8 Silk Brocade Qigong set

Tai Chi Eight

Yang 24  Tai Chi Form

Five Animals (Wu Quin Xi)

Da Wu (Great Dance of Qigong)

Wu Style Tai Chi

Tai Chi Stick Form

"The Twelve" Qigong
