About Kuna Kung Fu

Traditional Methods - Modern Refinement - Exceptional Results

Most people who've trained seriously hit the same wall eventually.

The injuries accumulate. The ceiling appears. The returns diminish.
Hung Ga Kung Fu, like all comprehensive training arts, solves that problem — a complete system integrating fighting skill, physical conditioning, and the medical knowledge to keep you healthy and training for decades.

If you've been looking for something with more depth than what you've found so far — this is worth an hour of your time.

Your first class is free.

Kuna Kung Fu is a proud member of the Yee's Hung Ga International Kung Fu Association, with US Headquarters in New Jersey and over 30 branches around the world.

Sifu Kyle Wooten

Sifu Kyle found Kung Fu right when he needed it. He was finishing his service in the Army and had chronic pain. He was told by doctors that he had to deal with the pain and limitations and “could only wait until his situation got bad enough for surgery.” Thankfully, somebody recommended he try Kung Fu, which turned Kyle’s life around; now he is healthier, happier, and stronger physically and mentally than he has been in a very long time. Since first discovering Kung Fu, 12 years ago, Kyle has seen how Kung Fu has helped him and others around him. He now shares that with others as a Sifu (teacher).

Sifu Kyle is a 3rd Dan Black Belt in Hung Ga Kung Fu, along with a decade of grappling experience and training in Boxing, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai and others. He graduated from West Point in 2009 and served in the US Army, learning many useful skills including EMT training. After leaving the Army, and getting involved with Kung Fu, Kyle obtained his Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine while continuing his Kung Fu training. He is now a full-time Acupuncturist, Kung Fu Sifu, husband, animal lover and self-proclaimed nerd. His acupuncture business is Kuna Wellness and Acupuncture, which is another avenue through which he chooses to continue serving his community. Though the clinic fills his workday hours, Teaching Kung Fu is his true passion.

Through Kung Fu, Sifu Kyle has learned that:

our physical and mental health are intricately linked
both our physical and mental health are improved with awareness and focus
Health the underlying influence in our lives
The things we can control or manage about our health, are far more than most think possible, and Kung Fu is one avenue to learning that.

Whether you need to strengthen your mind and body, learn a skillset that has no true ceiling, or you need to rehabilitate old injuries you were told were lifelong, nearly everything can be improved through working on yourself with Kung Fu skills.

Sifu Kyle's goal is to pass on to others the Kung Fu skills and knowledge that were taught to him and changed his life for the better. Get started on your self improvement journey today.

The Teaching Style at Kuna Kung Fu

Classes at Kuna Kung Fu are teacher-led and student-oriented in a traditional way; Through repetition of drills and exercises we develop Capability, and combined with a solid Understanding of the theory, it becomes precise and powerful Application of skill. This requires a good relationship between teacher (Sifu) and student, as well as a lot of one-on-one instruction, both of which are central to how I teach.

"Much of what I teach in Kung Fu relies on what we call 'Foundation Training,' which builds certain capabilities into the body on a deeper level than muscle memory; then we learn to use this foundation to turn seemingly ordinary techniques (Punch, Block, Kick, etc.) into phenomenally effective tools. Hung Ga in particular strongly emphasizes Stance Training in our Foundation, and we use it as a basis to build exceptional skill. We always keep in mind that we develop fighting skills not with the goal of becoming excellent fighters (though many do), rather we use fighting and training as a way to access and modify the body, mind and spirit, which is where the true Growth happens.

"This means that, as a Sifu, I am always trying to improve your technique, because I know that improving another 5% in skill might get you another 50% in results.

"Bottom Line: My job as a Sifu is to give you the tools of Kung Fu, teach you how to unlock their benefits, and help ensure maximum results from your effort."

~Sifu Kyle Wooten
