Tat Wong Kung Fu Academy has been in Middletown since 1990 and is located on Washington Street. The owner is very clear and articulate about the purpose of teaching students Kung Fu: that it is for self defense, and never to be used as an offensive weapon. Tat Wong has its headquarters and several training centers in and around San Francisco -- Middletown is the only U.S. location outside of California. Men and women of all ages are welcome. In June of 2010, some of the Tat Wong students performed at the premiere of the new Karate Kid movie.
