Today Liz Hummer wrote a nice piece making mention of WAKF in the “New Business” section of the Portland Blog Neighborhood Notes:

*Westside Academy of Kung Fu and CrossFit Hillsdale 
After a collective 25 years spent mastering martial arts, and the lastthree spent bringing Kung Fu programs into the community, black beltWally Jones and his wife, Lara, a teacher, opened this combined Mo DukPai (the specific martial style that emphasizes ethics and teaching)and CrossFit (a multi-faceted athletic training program) gym in Hillsdale.According to the couple, the two practices complement each other,empowering people to both physically and mentally roll with the punchesof life. With attentive instruction and personal progress plans, noweveryone can keep up with the Joneses. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!)

[Neighborhood Notes] looks “to connect people with resources (like civicinformation, local businesses and organizations, community events), andprovide them with the tools to make proactive choices within our city.The interactive elements of the web site (comments, guest posts, userreviews in our neighborhood directories and more) add to the livelyconversation framed around our continued, steady stream of what’sinteresting, current, and hyperlocal.”

Thanks Liz!
