Services
Tactical Kung Fu and Mixed Martial Arts classes are taught in a ~2000 square foot premier training facility in Durham, NC. We teach a variety of courses at our location. Classes, with noted exceptions, are open to students of all skill levels and prior martial arts experience. The curriculum is based on the specific class.
This is the primary martial art taught at Tactical Kung Fu and MMA. It is based on the Wun Hop Kuen Do style of Kajukenbo with hints of Kempo Jutsu, Xiao Zhang Kung Fu and various Filipino styles. All of that is a fancy way of saying that it consists of like 10 different martial arts. It is a true mixed martial art and is based on Kajukenbo which is America's first mixed martial art.
This class focuses on teaching the kung fu forms (kuens), stances, and exercises that are part of the Kajukenbo Kung Fu curriculum. We teach a mixture of Northern and Southern Kung Fu forms, focusing on the Shaolin and Hung Gar lineages. If you are interested an intensive, traditional kung fu experience, this class is ideal for you.
Known as the gentle art, Judo is a throwing and grappling art from Japan, created in 1882 by Jigoro Kano, that focuses on throws instead of the takedowns seen in wrestling. This art is an integral part of the Kajukenbo curriculum. It is also the foundational art upon which Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is built.
Boxing is one of the worlds oldest combat sports. It's also a great way to get in shape, stay fit, and relieve stress. Workouts aren't easy but good things seldom are. We believe in aiming high and don't see any point to training amateurs. People are encouraged to attend the Cardio Boxing class before it to get more of a workout.

Sifu Mike is great. It's clean and friendly and has a great, welcoming atmosphere. Classes aren't just about martial arts - it's a mix of strength and conditioning and mental "zen" too. Best of all, he's great with kids of all ages, and successfully manages classes of both boys and girls starting at age 5 all the way up to us "big kids." Highlight of our Saturdays around here.

This recommendation comes with the highest review of all Martial Arts/Training places I've been to. And I have been to a lot of training facilities. Sifu Mike has all of the great qualities of a Martial Arts Teacher. He is knowledgeable, open minded, patient, and determined. I have worked with him for several hours a week on a weekly basis and consistent results where seen by following his exercises. His routines are practical, balanced, fun, and challenging. I put together a set of goals/learning routines that I was interested in and Sufi Mike took the time and effort to address each goal, and

I started martial fitness classes at TKF when I was 63 and I’m still going strong at 65. There was plenty I could not do when I first started. I have made significant progress thanks to Sifu Mike’s acceptance, support and instruction. Great school, great people.

I have been going to TKF since September attending the kickboxing fitness classes. Although I am not a MMA student, Mike and the other students make me feel welcomed. Great workout and great people!

I don't know if many people read this but here goes:
I had a heart attack about a year ago and ever since I recovered my girlfriend forced me to try out this place. I will say I was a bit hesitant and I had my idea of what a good workout was and I've had a good long experience in martial arts but nothing could've prepared me for this. I was very unfit and my cardio wasn't very good but I blasted every Monday-Wednesday cardio and a MMA karate class. Then as time progressed I would take more classes. I sadly took a small break due to medical reasons but given the sign that I was feeling a bit better

If you are looking for a great workout AND want to learn martial arts from some super knowledgeable people then this is the perfect place for you! Since my first day here I have felt welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed all the classes that I have attended! The workouts are intense and really tone your body (especially the arms)! The people here are great and super caring, and even in a class setting you get lots of one on one attention and feedback!

I started attending Tactical Kung Fu and Mixed Martial Arts because I had a friend who was a member, and I needed exercise. I wanted exercise that would be mentally stimulating, physical, and I was also looking for a sense of community to keep me honest about attending. I found all of these things at Tactical Kung Fu and Mixed Martial Arts. Talking to other friends who have done a lot of self defense training, the self defense training here is very good. My primary goals were fitness, and in the past three months (with diet) I have been able to reduce my weight 20 lbs attending the Cardio fitness

This place is great! The regulars are all friendly and helpful, and the instructors make sure to include everyone in the lessons. The instructors make sure to provide real world examples and explain in depth the do's and don't's you need to defend yourself. This is a great place for self defense lessons!
