What is Kempo Karate?

Kempo is a comprehensive and diverse means of unarmed self-defense. The roots of the Kempo system trace back to the warrior monks of the Shaolin Temple, the renowned home of kung-fu. Throughout centuries, the techniques of Kempo have been refined and its content expanded to include the most effective strikes, throws, and movements. Combined with a pioneering application of teaching techniques, anti-bullying content, and character development paradigms, students become leaders among their peers and realize their capacity to command varied situations.

Our classes are primarily segmented by age, and as we develop a deeper understanding of you as a student, we will guide you towards the classes that will benefit you most, based on your physical and cognitive maturity.
