A Complete Martial Art

We strive to develop the complete martial artist.

Mind, Body, Spirit

We seek to develop the mind, body and spirit of each student through a martial art system called Mo Duk Pai kung fu.

Each Student An Individual

We create an atmosphere that allows students to progress at their own rate while mastering a catalog of basic techniques, enabling creativity and improvisation in a variety of situations, from competition to street to daily life.

Promotions! February 26th, 2015

On February 16, 2015, the 6pm adult’s class under Sifu Kyle Alexander got started in a slightly different fashion. Instead of jumping right into the warm ups, students were asked to hold a kneeling positions. From there, Mark Siegel was asked to come to the front. Mark is a second degree Black Belt in Mo Duk Pai Kajukenbo. That night he was bestowed the title of Sifu from his teacher, Sifu Alexander. Sifu, in Mo Duk Pai, is a title rather than a rank. One must be a 2nd degree Black Belt to be eligible for this title, as well as possessing a deep love for helping others get better. It is not a title that is given lightly, as there is no “on/off” switch for being a Sifu. Mark is a great reflection of what the title means. He walks the talk.

Tom Wells was asked to come up next. He was promoted from 1st degree to second degree Black Belt. By earning his 2nd degree rank, Tom has shown the depth of understanding of the Basics taught in MDP. He is now eligible to receive the title of Sifu in the future. Well done, Tom!

Finally, Jeremy Marchant was asked to come forward. Jeremy was promoted to 2nd degree Black Belt in addition to being given the title of Sifu. Since Jeremy earned his first degree Black, he has been a regular face on the floor, whether in training or teaching. Since taking over the school at the beginning of the year, Jeremy has grown into one competent and compassionate instructor. He has apprenticed under Sifu Alexander for years before earning this promotion. With his work ethic and dedication to teaching, the Academy of Kung Fu will be in good hands for many years to come.

Congratulations to each of these Trainers! Their growth on a personal level has a rippling benefit to others, the School as well as the System. Their efforts continue to have a positive impact in our community. Keep up the hard work!
