The Kung Fu for Kids program was established in 2003 to enable children from low-income families in Northern Virginia to benefit from the positive physical, social, and mental aspects of Kung Fu. The program is supported through the partnership of in-kind support from Elements School of T’ai Chi and Kung Fu and Reston Interfaith’s Laurel Learning Center and the generous tax-deductible generous donations of individuals and businesses.
About Qi Elements
Since its founding in 1993, Qi Elements School of T'ai Chi and Kung Fu has served the Herndon/Reston-area communities by teaching the traditional martial art systems of both Yang Style T'ai Chi and Shaolin Kung Fu. The Kung Fu for Kids Program is coordinated by Sihing Erin Williams.
