Eagle Claw Academy of Sacramento

Eagle Claw is a rare and complete system of Kung Fu. By complete I mean that it has everything from striking to joint locking to throwing and takedowns and forms training. What is great about the Sacramento School is that classes are taught based on a traditional approach that is tested and true. You will get stronger, more coordinated and learn self defense skills at the same time. If you have interest in martial arts for health or self defense, Eagle Claw is a great system for you and Sifu Melliza is a great teacher.

The Eagle Claw Kung Fu Academy has been my training home for most of my martial arts career. The instructors are highly skilled and knowledgeable, work diligently to better themselves and treat their students like valued friends and family.
The system is quite diverse with multiple joint locking, striking and kicking techniques that apply to a multitude of situations. Instructors regularly work on how to apply techniques in real world situations to help themselves attain a higher level of martial mastery.
The training régime can apply to a vast array of body compositions from «heavy hitters» that may experience mobility issues due to weight, to individuals with a strong athletic background. Sifu (instructor) Mary Melliza takes time to understand one’s individual needs and coaches accordingly.
Note: this is no gym. This is a traditional martial arts school with a traditional teaching approach. The gains are life-​long and will compeletly alter your life for the better. Training in this style is the single best thing I’ve ever done for myself.

I’ve been going here for a minute now.
Everyone is mad nice. It’s a formal learning setting that offers classic style kung fu, Northern Eagle claw and Wu Style Tai Chi, how could you go wrong? There is group practice and one on one instruction with the sifu, who is very knowledgeable and also very nice. I always look forward to going to class!
So, if you want to learn kung fu, do something fun, get fit, or if you have some Beatrix Kiddo type problems and need some Pai Mei type solutions, come here!
