We provide quality instruction in real self defense, not
sport karate. There are no bad styles of martial arts; however, there are styles that are more well-rounded, and American Kenpo is a very well-rounded style of true self-defense.The martial arts develop both physical and mental skills.
People of all ages and abilities become involved in the martial arts
for a variety of reasons: some for physical fitness, some for
self-esteem, others for self-confidence or discipline, and many for
self-defense. The list of reasons is endless. Martial arts instill
physical, mental, social and emotional skills, challenging students to
rise to their own personal levels as they gain confidence and a
constant sense of achievement with each new belt.
Research with Olympic athletes has shown that mental training is as
important as the physical aspects of training in developing optimal
health and fitness. Students learn the benefits of this holistic
concept of body and mind integration as taught through the principles
of the martial arts.
Our method of training is a multidimensional conditioning program
that is designed to maximize muscular strength, endurance, and
flexibility and to teach real self-defense -- no matter what your
fitness level.
