If you are looking to learn practical and effective self-defense, this is the place. I have a…read moretraditional martial arts background and was looking for something that would complement that, but also give me more knowledge on how to defend myself in various situations. You are taught not just techniques, but you learn the principles, and you learn to cultivate the mentality you need when someone attacks you in the street. You learn knife defenses, gun defenses, regular hand-to-hand defenses, but most importantly you learn how to react quickly and powerfully without thinking. It is not an easy class for a lot of people, but if you want to feel more confident about being able to defend yourself, go here.

Mori (Moran) is a FANTASTIC instructor: he's so very knowledgeable, has amazing skills, and he's also very kind and personable, making the class enjoyable but still productive.

My daughters loved his classes and the practical technique he teaches, they learned a lot, felt empowered and had SO much fun! We highly recommended his classes!

I am a young 65 year old with severe scoliosis and stenosis. I look forward to class each week. Eileen has such a calming , positive energy and has so much knowledge about the body and the healing benefits of Qi Gong. At first I did many of the exercises from a chair, but I am now able to complete the class usually without this modification. I also see a big difference in my breathing when I'm taking walks. I am able to walk up inclines without getting winded. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to follow the form in the online class, but Eileen explains things very clearly, and positions her body so it is easy to follow. She also takes questions at the end which often help me. I am very lucky to be able to be her student because I live in Oregon. Though I can't wait to be "on the other side" of this virus, I hope her Zoom classes will continue when life gets back to normal.

My 6 year old daughter has been attending classes at Phillips School of Kung-Fu for about 3 months…read morenow. I have to say that in no small part Kung-Fu has helped her gain focus and discipline. She has made huge strides lately thanks to Robert and his staff. She has gone from not wanting to go to Kung-Fu to actually looking forward to it. Robert teaches them challenging lessons and also a lot of fun moves and exercises. Each week, the 5-8 year old class learns a new lesson on Monday (or a refresher on a previous lesson) and does fun exercises on Thursday. Students often pair up and work on lessons together with the help of an instructor. Classes in this age range run 40 minutes--just the right amount of time. It can be hard getting beginners interested and motivated initially (and it could take several weeks to get there), but it's worth it if you stick with it. Highly recommended!!
