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.

Powell closures on the day of the Kids Tournament May 9th, 2013

This just in from the City of Portland:

May 17-20, placement of new girders for the SE 17th/Powell vehicle and light rail overpasses requires closure of Powell Boulevard for several blocks on either side of the construction work. Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, May 17, Powell will be closed to through traffic between SE 13th and 21st avenues—through traffic will be detoured to Holgate via McLoughlin and Cesar E. Chavez boulevards. However, the eastbound offramp to southbound 17th Avenue will remain open.

Powell will be fully open by 5 a.m. Monday, May 20. This is the last scheduled closure of Powell for construction of the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Transit Project.

More information and detour map under “Portland, East Segment” section here

This means the typical rerouting of traffic for the morning of the Kids Tournament (May 18th). PLEASE GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY OF EXTRA TIME TO MAKE IT TO THE AKF THAT MORNING. We will be starting our tournament promptly at 9am. We will be finishing by Noon. Unfortunately, we will not be able to delay the start of the tournament or make exceptions for those who are late. We would love to see all the kids who have been working hard for this day not get hung up by the detours. Huge thanks to the parents in advance for helping the kids be able to show off their stuff!

Good stuff coming up… May 8th, 2013

Huge Thanks to Sifu Kevin Jackson! April 29th, 2013

Many thanks to Sifu Kevin Jackson for coming to the Academy of Kung Fu for a great day of training. Here’s the words from one of the AKF students who attended:

“We all had a great time with Sifu Kevin Jackson at the seminar on Sunday working on techniques for making it out alive should we be attacked on the street. We worked a little chi sao, stick work, knife work, take downs, an some ground fighting. And of course we went over trying to avoid and defuse a situation before it can escalate into a violent situation. Along with handling a violent situation with enough force needed that won’t land you in jail. It’s was great learning new things and meeting new people, can’t wait till the next seminar.”

From lowest to highest. April 21st, 2013

Big congratulations to Phelan for earning his Junior Orange Sash last week along with Sydney for earning her Junior Blue/Green Sash. Syndey is now one of the highest ranking junior students at the AKF. Phelan recently got back into training after a long family trip. It took many sessions for the info to come back to him and do it with quality. Kudos to both kiddos for the strong work they have shown!
