Cloud Forest
Martial Arts Institute
38th Generation Wei Family Kung Fu in Greensboro, North Carolina. A members-only training hall rooted in tradition and dedicated to cultivating scholars and warriors.
An unbroken lineage of Chinese martial arts, carried forward in the American South
Cloud Forest Martial Arts Institute is the home of Wei Family Kung Fu in the United States. Under the guidance of Sifu Michael Johnson, 38th Generation Lineage Chief Inheritor, our training hall preserves and transmits a complete system of Chinese martial arts spanning combat application, internal cultivation, and scholarly study.
We are not a commercial gym. We are a traditional training hall where dedicated students develop skill, discipline, and character through proven methods passed down across generations.
