About.United Kung Fu first started in 2004 under a different name, at 91st Avenue and Union Hills with Grandmaster Jerry Dibble at the helm as part of a group of Academies that had been operating in the Phoenix area since 1996. Grandmaster Laurie Ledgerwood was working for a different Academy in that group at that time. When the owners of the 91st Avenue Academy decided they wanted to sell that particular part of the business, the duo purchased it. They finished buying the business in 2009, and that’s when they gave it the new (and current) name—United Kung Fu.

Some of United Kung Fu’s students actually go back to when they were at 91^st and Union Hills many years ago. One student has even been with them the whole time!

All Aspects. Although the many styles of Kung Fu they train at United Kung Fu have effective self-defense applications which students are taught as a part of their training, it is not just about kicking and punching. In addition, they help students master all areas of their lives, including the emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and creative aspects. For United Kung Fu, it is about the focus, discipline and follow through that creates physical excellence, health, and vitality; and helps their students evolve into better human beings that make a difference in the world.

Well Trained and Experienced Instructors. The transformation experienced by United Kung Fu students has lead many of them to continue training at the Academy for 10 or more years, and become Instructors so they can give back to their community by helping other students progress on their Path to Self Mastery.

“This academy is awesome, the instructors are very supportive!! We are not just students we are a family!!” -Lola G.

“Look no further! Sitting at a desk all day was killing me. My stress and blood pressure levels were very high. I was fortunate enough to find United Kung Fu. After a few months of training, my stress decrease and my blood pressure dropped to healthy levels. The instructors and students a very friendly and respectful. They are always bringing in top ranked Masters and Grandmasters to ensure the students are getting the best training available. If you want to learn from the best, this is the place.” – Joshua H.

“I did the women self-defense class and I learned a lot of very good techniques. The 4 ladies leading the class there were very helpful and I cannot wait to take another class there.” – Jamie L.

“United Kung Fu is all about helping you reach your full potential by creating opportunities (physical and mental challenges) designed to make you stronger, more resilient, and confident. The instructors are always encouraging and even in a large class have a knack for recognizing the accomplishments of each individual. They teach modified versions of each movement based on the student’s physical ability, keeping safety top of mind. No matter your age or physical ability, UKF can help you become stronger mentally and physically! Highly recommend!” – Tony E.

“I searched for over a year to find a solid Kung Fu/Tai Chi school near me and either got the run-around or was turned-off by the egos I talked to … Then I found United … Solid, traditional, and accommodating … and the best training I’ve received in decades. These folks are the ‘real deal’. Thanks!” – Davis S.

“My son started the Little Tigers program 4 years ago. This Saturday, he graduates to his Black Belt. All the instructors here are wonderfully, incredibly patient in their teaching. They have really helped mold my son into the little gentleman he is today. Starting with the Little Tigers program, my son developed devotion and learned the responsibility that comes with commitment. They taught him discipline and respect, for himself and others. Everything is “Yes, Sir” and “Yes, Ma’am”. When we go out as a family to a restaurant he answers the waiter with “Yes, please” and a “Thank you, Sir/Ma’am”. At 9 years old, he holds the door open for complete strangers. This all comes from the regimented training he receives at United Kung Fu. I cannot speak highly enough of this academy. They teach more than just martial arts moves. They teach inner skills that will carry with my son for the rest of his life.” – Kevin D.

“Best Academy on the city. Great black belt graduation today, Saturday, May 6th, 2017!! Thank you for hard work to all instructors and master instructors, to help students to achieve their belts! You are our family!” -Antoniu I.

“If you would’ve told me that at the age of 61, I would be taking Kung Fu training with my wife, son, daughter, granddaughter and grandson, I could’ve had you committed – and with the quickness! But that’s what’s actually happening and we absolutely LOVE IT!!! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, proficient and true professionals. We’ve all been training for over a year now at United Kung Fu and I firmly believe their superior quality training programs are all second to none. You want the best training? Try United Kung Fu. You will not be disappointed.” -Carlos G.
