About Kung Fu Connection
Our History
Master Roberto Baptista’s Kung Fu Connection has an interesting history.
Master Gus Rubio founded Kung Fu Connection in the end of the 1980’s with the sole purpose of teaching authentic Chinese Martial Arts in North Miami, Florida.
In 2016, Master Gus Rubio invited Master Roberto Baptista, direct disciples of Grandmaster Chan Kwok Wai and his Kung Fu uncle, to come to the USA and join Kung Fu Connection as its Program Director.
In 2017, upon the arrival of Master Baptista in the USA, Master Claudio Medeiros, another direct disciple of Grandmaster Chan Kwok Wai, also joined Kung Fu Connection.
Kung Fu Connection Masters share more than 100 years of combined experience in Chinese Martial Arts (Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Qigong, etc.). Where else can you find such a wealth of knowledge in a fun, friendly, and supportive environment?

The Kung Fu Connection is a lifetime member of the USAWKF (United States of America Wushu Kung Fu Federation), the sole organization recognized by the I.O.C. (International Olympic Committee), that governs Kung Fu & Wushu in all its forms in the U.S.A.
Our Mission
Whether it’s Kung Fu for Adults, Kids Martial Arts, Tai Chi, Qigong or any of our other programs, Kung Fu Connection strives to be the best option for those interested in learning Chinese Kung Fu.
We look to preserve authentic Chinese Martial Arts, known as Kung Fu, for future generations. Because in so doing, we help our martial art students get the best that the traditional Chinese martial arts, or Kung Fu, can offer.
Students will strengthen their mind and body, helping them improve their overall wellness and health. We teach high levels of self-defense skills and help students develop a goal-oriented mind.
This, and more, we do so that our martial arts students excel in all their life endeavors and actually improve our community! Get a more clear picture by checking out what our students say by their reviews.
Kung Fu Connection is committed to teaching the traditional values of “Wu De,” or Martial Ethics, (gratitude, respect, integrity, loyalty, among others) to our students, creating leaders that will build a better future for all.
Preserving Authentic Traditional Kung Fu
At Kung Fu Connection we are committed to teach our students the correct and traditional way to learn and embrace the disciplined practice of traditional Chinese Martial arts.
At Kung Fu Connection we are proud of our Chinese martial arts lineage that spans over 1,500 years and include a wide range knowledge of authentic traditional Chinese martial arts.
Expanding Our Martial Arts Programs
We’ve recently teamed up with the fine folks over at the American Dragon Martial Arts Academy. Their excellent teachers join us at Kung Fu Connection to offer their martial arts programs in Jeet Kune Do, Kali and more.
