White Birch History

     White Birch Kung Fu & Tai Chi was founded in 1989 by Si Fu Robert LaPointe, a student of Tien Shan Pai master Liu, Chao Chi. During the mid- to late-90's, the organization grew to encompass five locations. The first of those opened here in Sterling, VA in early 1996 under the instruction of Si Fu Sean Kans. After his relocation to the west-coast in 2002, his senior student and assistant instructor, Si Fu Lacy Colley, purchased the business and took over head instrcution duties at the Sterling, VA school. Since then, Si Fu Colley has worked tirelessly to provide an authentic, enriching martial arts experience to his students.
