Our primary focus is on realistic combat and self defense training for personal protection in preference to sports or performance based martial arts. The philosophy behind the programs offered at the Hung Fa Kwoon of Arizona comes from traditional Chinese Kung Fu Culture. This requires developing the whole person in body, mind and spirit.
Traditional martial arts values are at the core of Hung Fa Kwoon of AZ training. Regular participation develops cognitive and social skills which are enhanced through quality instruction, practice and increased physical skill. Classes progressively challenge your child to establish the basics of kung fu skill and martial artist character.
The Dragon is associated with developing the mind and spirit, it utilizes flexible and graceful body movements. Arched backs, twisting body postures and side horse stances are characteristic of the Dragon style. The movements of the Tiger are purely reactive, its actions are not premeditated, when confronted the Tiger leaps to the attack with simple, direct and aggressive techniques for a quick resolution to the conflict.

Sifu Jones is very patient and a very good instructor. I have been attending for one year under him and love this school. I would highly recommend this style of Kung Fu if you are wanting to learn a form of Kung Fu that is very rare and not many people know, and is VERY effective in ending a fight VERY quickly.

When it comes to effective training, Hung Fa Yi is the best AZ has to offer. For the last 6 years I have visited many martial arts schools in the Phoenix area. From Karate, to Tae Kwon do, Judo, Kung Fu, etc. No school can't come close to the level of superior training that Hung Fa Yi Tempe has to offer. I have been a member for a number of years, and there is always something new to learn. The classes, are fun, geared towards reality based combat principles, and the monthly fees are pretty affordable. Overall, this is the school where you can learn self defense, get in shape

Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun -- Best martial arts school in the East Valley. Sifu Mark Jones is an excellent instructor. He's a very patient, very forgiving kung fu master. There is no doubt he knows the material and the technique to the point where he lives and breathes it. Along with Sifu Mark, you will meet Sibak Jon Sandberg and Sibak Dylan Fitzpatrick, who equally know the technique and material, and are excellent instructors in their own right.
The classes are informative, practical, and flexible in scheduling. The instructors teach you the foundation of Wing Chun kung fu and build on that foundation

This is a great place to learn, train, and grow. Sifu Mark is a great, down-to-earth teacher that is always happy to share his knowledge and is always on the floor providing instruction and correction. He is very passionate about his students' improvement and is continuously seeking feedback from them, no matter the age. For the adults, the system itself seems to have an extremely simple yet highly thought-out, effective answer to many questions of strategy in both conceptual and mechanical application. And, you can move your focus however you want, whether you simply want to improve your physical

I have met wonderful people, many of whom I now call 'friends', through training at HFY of AZ! Time in class is punctual and focused with serious training in a friendly atmosphere. I love the physical workout and the mental stimulation. (My naturally weak upper body really improved in strength and tone!) Sifu Mark and senior students are really good about rotating students around to get the most-effective feel for a technique. As a female student, I really appreciate the respectful yet challenging sparring with the male students--I guess their training really has given them a great kinesthetic

Our son, David, has been going to Sifu Mark for three years, and we have only good things to say about our experiences. Sifu Mark has instilled confidence, discipline and an appreciation for the martial arts in David, and provided an excellent role model through his patience, understanding and strength of character. Unlike in many martial arts academies where large classes and a lack of personal interaction can lead to a lack of connection with staff, Sifu Mark’s personal attention and focus on individual improvement is outstanding. Our son had a number of challenges related to concentration

I'll start off saying that this is probably one of the best decisions of my life to join Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun. I had tried to apply for another Wing Chun school in Tempe, but the owner didn't reply to my emails, and he didn't bother to care if I was interested. Then when my hopes were down, I emailed Sifu Mark Jones. He replies back as soon as the next day and was very understanding of my situation. I'm a smaller woman, I have had no previous experience in athletics other then track and cross country for a year, so I was relieved that he was willing to teach me Wing Chun regardless of that. Of

Having just returned after a few years away, I was
pleasantly surprised with the new facility and staff.
The facility is clean and comfortable and provides
The right atmosphere for training. Sifu Jones is always on the
floor with hands on training.
Hung Fa Yi is a complete system,
simple and practical ,but very detailed.
They offer many seminars & workshops on the weekends
that cover a variety of arts. The price is reasonable
for such personal training.
