Kenpo is a techniques based Martial Art built around "what-if" scenarios. It's a scaleable self defense system that intensifies as the situation escalates - so the moves, which range from simple to complex, can be used to peacefully disrupt a situation that's gotten out of hand to brutally and quickly ending an assault.
American Kenpo Karate utilizes all of our natural weapons: the hands, kicks, knees, and elbows - making it one of the most effective martial arts because it uses the entire body as a potential weapon to keep you safe. You may never face the real-world situations that American Kenpo Karate self-defense classes teach, but if you do, you'll be glad you know how to handle it.

We're happy you're here and want to prepare you to have the most positive experience with us possible. These first classes are where it all begins. This is where you learn your most fundamental and important skills. The basics are the foundation of the true martial artist. In fact, the hallmark of an expert Black Belt is more about the precision of his or her basic skills under pressure than the sheer number of techniques an individual memorizes.
Curriculum

Use these as a guideline for what you should be learning for the test. Kids must be approved to test. Adults may test when they feel ready, and if they're not sure, an instructor will advise you. We use technique cards to track our goals and progress. We keep the cards in the front Lobby. There is also space to the right of each technique that you can use to write notes to yourself.
