Summit Wushu Academy is unlike any other martial arts school that I have seen. My son started at 4 years old and now as a 5 year old has shown immense improvement in a variety of skills. Sifu Phillip and Sifu Peter provide a fun environment to learn but instill values that are often lost in programs today: respect of teachers, respect of self, respect of peers, independence, high expectations, hard work and practice, and overall discipline of the mind and body. My son has learned how to be more respectful, work hard for things he wants, all while learning Traditional Wushu. His confidence has always been high, but he has learned an understanding at his age of his abilities that is gentle, caring and respectful of others. He is also learning regularly how to work as a team. As an adult my wife and I have begun taking evening classes where we are learning the basics. I'm beginning overweight, out of shape and not flexible, and they have been fantastic! While I can't always keep up, they keep the expectations high for me, while at the same time help to make modifications that will improve my ability as I strive to catch up with those that are well beyond my ability. Sifu Phillip and Sifu Peter are extremely encouraging of those of us jumping in as adults, showing a lot of respect, making it fun and challenging, and keeping expectations high. read more

Let me just say, I LOVE THIS PLACE. Where to start? First, it is very hard to find a facility that has high-quality carpet, high ceilings, and enough space for competitive Wushu athletes to train. Summit Wushu Academy has all of that. Second, it is even harder to find qualified Wushu coaches who are not only energized and knowledgeable, but also top-tier athletes and competitors themselves. This is very rare. Phillip and Peter Dang have keen eyes and can bring out the best in any student. They have a well-rounded curriculum and are not interested in just cycling students through, they want all their students to shine! Regardless of your age, sex, or level of experience, Summit Wushu Academy will challenge and inspire you to be a better martial artist. read more

If you are interested in learning Wushu in the greater PDX area, there is no better place than Summit Wushu Academy. They combine great facilities - a huge space with regulation sized carpet - with serious and knowledgeable instructors who will push you to be the best you can be. The teachers at Summit Wushu have competed and won the highest honors in the United States - they know what it takes to reach an expert level of Wushu and they are extremely helpful. It is also a great place for kids to learn as the discipline and physical fitness gained here are huge assets towards succeeding in life. When I was younger and began studying Wushu the drive I was instilled with from my martial arts training spurred me to achieve academically as well, and this is the exact atmosphere that is fostered at Summit Wushu Academy. I would recommend this school to both beginners and advanced practitioners. You simply will not find a better school within 100 miles. read more

I joined Summit Wushu over a year ago and have to say it's been the best Wushu school in Portland. The instructors are extremely professional and passionate about teaching the art with integrity. There's no attitude, no pressure, no bullshit. Other schools may say that their way is the best, but the reality is that they just want your money and lack integrity. Summit Wushu teaches you what Martial Arts is about. It has thought me confidence, respect and hard work. These guys are truly a class act. It's like a big family here, they treat everyone fairly and equal. You can pay as you go, with no pressure of paying a yearly tuition and they also have a Beaverton location that is only a 15min drive from downtown. You will not be disappointed! read more

The coaches in Summit Wushu are amazing. They are very professional, dedicated and loving . My son started at 7 year old with Shifu Peter, and he has stayed since then. It is a family like environment. Shifu's are really like their mentor , not only teach martial art, but taking care of each student. They are building a very caring and loving atmosphere at this Wushu school read more

A cut above your average martial arts academy. Our 4 year old daughter has been in the Little Falcons class twice a week for the past 4 months and we've already noticed a change in her confidence, balance and gross motor skills. Sifu Phillip is great with the kids and exerts the right amount of sternness required for this age group. read more

Excellent place to learn Wushu!! Not a place to go if your kids want to goof around or to be used as a place for babysitting. They are very serious about this martial art form and love what they do. SWA has dedicated instructors that really pay attention to each student and his/her abilities. My kids attend the Beaverton location. Your child will advance very quickly at this school. I would not recommend for kids younger than 5. read more

Summit wushu has been a blessing to my daughter and I. We have been attending this particular school for over three years now. I have been a practitioner in martial arts off and on for the last two decades. We love Sifu Phillip and Sifu Peter dang! They really care about their students. Very affordable for the high level of skill and knowledge of the art taught here. The integrity and discipline anyone will receive here is hard to find! Thank you to the instructors and the Dang family for your dedication to the art and sport of wushu. read more
