After many years of intense training five, six, and in some years, seven days a week, twenty-plus hours every week, he joined the Instructional Staff Training Program at the Shaolin Kung fu Institute, and taught classes at the Hightstown, NJ, and Easton, PA, locations before opening the Shaolin Kung fu Institute Flemington. Shifu also trains in Ba Duan Jin Qigong, and Yang and Wu style Tai Chi, which continues under Shifu Rex McCoy.
Shifu McCoy has certified and licensed Sifu Mack to instruct Northern Dragon style Kung fu.
Shifu Mack holds a B.A. in English, and a M.S. Ed. in Elementary Education. He is also a state certified teacher with 19 years of teaching experience currently teaching 5th grade Language Arts and Social Studies.

Shifu Ally
Shifu Ally began her study of martial arts in 1996. Over the past 20 years she has achieved her 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and has attained the rank of Shifu, or teacher, in Northern Dragon style Kung Fu. As an advanced student of the Shaolin Kung fu Institute's Instructional Staff Training Program for many years, Shifu Ally continues to learn through direct instruction from Shifu Rex McCoy, the chief instructor of the art, expanding her knowledge of human physiology, traditional Chinese martial philosophy, and the thousands of years of history connected with the art. Shifu hopes to show others that through hard work any skill can be achieved.
In addition to her achievements in the martial arts, Ally has also competed at an elite level as a soccer goalkeeper at the high school, club, and college levels. She won several championships for the Montgomery Girls Soccer program during her four year varsity career. Through the experience she gained from the Players Development Academy (PDA) she was able to go on and play Division I soccer at both the University of Connecticut and, later, Monmouth University.
Shifu earned her B.S. in Criminal Justice and her Master’s Degree in Homeland Security from Monmouth University. She is an American College of Exercise certified personal trainer.
