What is Kenpo Karate?

American Kenpo Karate is one of the most up to date martial arts systems in the world.  We don’t just teach self-defense, we ARE self-defense!  Our children and Adult programs are designed to teach discipline and confidence alongside self-defense concepts and techniques that work.

What can Kenpo Karate do for me or my child?

Improve self-discipline and confidence

Kenpo Karate teaches motivation, self-direction and self-confidence taught through personal achievement.  We will help you or your child to develop self confidence and self motivation to complete whatever you choose to attempt in life.  You will see  increases in confidence, energy and spirit.  The discipline and confidence learned in Kenpo Karate can be used to conquer fears by taking on more difficult and advanced Karate techniques and skills.  That discipline begins to transform the student, and it begins to transfer to all other areas of the students life.  They will refuse to give in to negative peer pressure.  They will have a deeper respect for rules and for other people. 

Through this self confidence, you will be fearless to open any door that life has to offer.

Set and achieve Goals

Kenpo Karate helps children and adults to set short-term, intermediate, and long-term goals.  Kenpo Karate provides these goals in the form of belt ‘tabs’ (short-term), color belt promotions (intermediate) and achieving a Black Belt (long-term).  We work with each and every student and/or parent to assist the student in setting attainable goals.  Students receive a goal-setting form in their welcome package to help them track their progress.  If desired, we will work with parents to set goals for progress in school achievement for their children as well.  This can provide a great incentive for students to excel in daily school class work, and improve their education and grades.

Strength of Mind and Body

Increased strength in body and mind comes while learning how to block, kick and punch.  These exercises promote mental focus, concentration and increase attention span.  They also build strength and flexibility of the body.  The greatest challenges that anyone may face, many times come from their own fears and self-doubts.  Physical and mental strength increase the individual's confidence to battle these forces.   

What  can I expect?

When you or your child signs up for classes, you can expect a fun and enjoyable learning atmosphere.  While we do teach and enforce discipline in our classes, we also teach in a relaxed atmosphere.  We try to get students to ‘react’ to a given situation, to do 'something' to defend themselves, not necessarily to do something that is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.  We are dedicated to and truly care about teaching students to defend themselves, should the situation ever arise.  Kenpo Karate is one of the most exciting, fun and up to date martial arts systems in the world.  We provide every student with a welcome kit, which provides guidelines, goal progress, a home progress/practice manual and lots of additional information about Kenpo Karate.
