Kung Fu and T’ai Chi Ch’uan

Established in 1964, Grandmaster Baird teaches traditional martial arts. He was also the Former Technical Advisor for the Burbank Police Department, and a guest instructor for the California Association of Force Instructors in 2010.

Welcome to the American School of Martial Arts and the exciting world of Kung Fu as taught by Grandmaster Don Baird. We are the oldest and most documented school of martial arts in Burbank, with a local history of almost 50 years. It’s also very exciting to note that our Academy of Kung Fu – Palmdale location is nearing its first decade and continuing to make a wonderful addition to the community!
