See What the Academy Has To Offer-
The Physical Side
We strive to develop physical balance in traditional and innovative strength, flexibility and endurance exercises that increase efficiency, capability and overall physical well being. We use standup skills such as punching, kicking, striking and throwing as well as ground techniques, including grappling and joint manipulation. We also study weapons in attack and defense. Although it can be challenging, students often end up pleased and surprised with the outward benefits physical conditioning provides, and the unexpected rewards that extend into their everyday lives.
The Mental Aspect
Focus and and self discipline are emphasized at the Academy. This reinforces basic concepts and technical know-how, which in turn gives students the basic tools they need to develop the movement, redirection and confrontation skills applicable to many situations.
The Spiritual Nature
Through the integration of body and mind, spiritual development grows. Students develop greater confidence in overcoming obstacles, and determination in the face of challenging situations. As the student becomes more skilled, this fosters a growth in the development of ethical behavior as well.
Instruction
The AKF is run by Sifu Kyle Alexander, a third degree black belt in Mo Duk Pai kung fu. A certified Crossfit instructor as well, Sifu Alexander has fifteen years' experience helping students, from kids to adults, get better at what they want to accomplish in the martial arts.
In addition to the regular kids' classes offered at the Academy, Sifu Wally Jones and Advanced Student Lara Jones also operate a unique program for kids, Kung Fu Outreach, which provides students with quality instruction, a love of learning and open appreciation for all movement arts.
The Academy also hosts several other martial and movement arts, such as capoeira, through Capoeira USA, taught by Mestre Urubu Malandro, and personal training, offered by Donna Porter, with Step by Step personal training.
