What does the Academy of Kung Fu teach?

The Academy of Kung Fu teaches the cornerstones of Mo Duk Pai Kung Fu- practicality, spontaneity, creativity, and ethical behavior. At the heart of Mo Duk Pai is an effective self defense martial art. What sets the Academy apart from a "traditional" kung fu school is that we are a progressive mixed martial art. Whether it's street self defense gleaned from law enforcement experience, throws from Sambo, ground techniques from Jiu Jitsu, or stick fighting from Modern Arnis, we'll use it if it's effective. So, although we have a tradition of basic martial understanding and application, we're always evolving and moving towards creating something better, the "complete martial artist."

Instruction

The AKF is run by Sifu Kyle Alexander, a fourth 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. The Academy also hosts other martial and movement arts, such as capoeira, through Capoeira USA, taught by Mestre Urubu Malandro.

Adult Programs

Want practical martial art skills and get a fantastic workout at the same time? Then we think you'll like what we have to offer. Students gain skills that work for themselves in practical situations, not just in theory. We integrate CrossFit into each of our workouts so students develop functional strength and conditioning at the same time. Adult students find themselves developing usable self defense skills while reaching new levels of fitness, all in the same class! Fun and functional, you'll feel the difference in your training. It's not your ordinary trip to the gym...

Kids Programs

On any given day, you'll find our kids jumping, tumbling, sparring, grappling - basically developing a lifelong love of movement through our unique program. In addition to learning practical martial art skills, kids are gaining strength, self discipline, and coordination that is reflected in their movements, choices and attitude. As the kids grow stronger, they are empowered to make better choices regarding themselves and their community. In every kids class, they experience fun, hard work and learning!

We offer kids classes five days a week at convenient times for school and parents' schedules. Check out the schedule on the right side of this page for times and age brackets. And always feel free to stop by and see for yourself, ask questions, or just give us a call. We'd love to meet you!
