Independent Martial Arts School

Kenpo is a distinct style with roots in China, Japan, and Hawaii. The Kenpo material taught in our school today is very similar to that which was taught when it was first developed in the mid 20th Century. Emphasizing punches, kicks, locks and takedowns, its adaptive nature helps ensure the best possible outcome for the practitioner.

At the Independent Martial Arts School, we believe that a Martial Artist's key role is strengthening and building up the Community that sustains them, not fighting or winning trophies. Whether Local or Global in nature, IMAS students go above and beyond to leave a positive mark on the world. Between our direct predecessor and the IMAS, hundreds of students have volunteered thousands of hours in support of local events in Southern New Hampshire.

The Independent Martial Arts School is pleased to announce a unique opportunity for any woman who wants to learn more about personal safety and protection. This is a new kind of seminar, vetted by law enforcement and healthcare professionals in collaboration with our experienced female black belts.

At the Independent Martial Arts School, we are devoted to excellence in the learning, and teaching, of self-defense. Beyond this central purpose, we also seek to foster good attitudes and scholastic achievement among our students. At every opportunity, we encourage them to stay in school, focus on their homework, share news of their achievements with our instructors, and pursue higher education after high school.
