Archery

Pa Kua Newport
Teaching the traditions and techniques of Chinese Archery
Located in
Costa Mesa

Pa-Kua is an ancient knowledge taught in a very traditional Chinese form. Today, Pa-Kua is taught here through a belt or level system. The knowledge ranges from Martial Art, Self Defense and Ancient Weapons, to healing arts such as Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The Pa-Kua International League has begun offering classes in the art of Chinese Archery. This brought back an ancient art, by combining the Pa-Kua knowledge with the art of shooting arrows. The Pa-Kua International League has fulfilled a historic role in reviving this knowledge, becoming possibly the only school to, not only keep alive the traditions and techniques of Chinese Archery, but teaching them all over the world.
