A place to discover
The Rising & Advanement of
the Spirit

Black Mountain Spirit School of Chinese Kung Fu is an organization dedicated to the practice of Ancient Chinese Kung Fu both philosophically and martially, learning how to apply the concepts we learn in class to life. Located in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, We practice three styles of Chinese Kung Fu: Ho’o Chin Pai Northern Shaolin, Ming Hsien Kuei Shou Baguazhang Eight Trigram Palm, and Yang Jia Taijiquan Grand Ultimate Fist. We concentrate on real applications in addition to the aesthetics of body, mind, and spirit. Through practice we strive to improve ourselves and those around us. A school of traditional Chinese Kung Fu, where one can learn the physical side of martial arts and self-defense applications, as well as gain exposure to the philosophical, cultural and historical background of Kung Fu. It is a school where one is challenged to grow both physically, intellectually and spiritually. Through the study of Kung Fu, students build confidence, learn to manage difficult situations and deal with conflict. These ancient traditions have been tested by time and are known for their practicality and effectiveness. At Black Mountain Spirit Kung Fu, all our training is geared towards personal perfection with these goals in mind. We are a group of students all joined for one main goal: to learn Chinese Kung Fu. We are committed to the preservation of this ancient wisdom accumulated over the ages. Our teacher, Da Shi Fu Marc Black, is very knowledgeable and has decades of teaching experience. His integrity guides us.
