Training For Life®

Kenpo Flow is a low impact martial art designed for the adult student in mind. We all have family's to take care of and jobs to go to in the morning. The typical martial art school trains one way, hard. This is a great philosophy if you are in the military, law enforcement or MMA arena. Since most of us do not fall into one of these categories training under the hard style philosophy means injuries, lost time from work and a short exposure to the martial arts.

Martial arts are not about fighting, it is actually the opposite. We train to become a stronger person, a bigger person, not in body but in mind and spirit. To be able to walk away from an unhealthy situation rather than fall into one. We work towards peace but train for unrest. This allows us to project peace however, if that is not an option we use our training to defend and overcome the threat rather than initiate it.

Kenpo Flow is a complete martial art system presented in a low impact manner. The students will learn to defend themselves while training in a safe environment.   

Kenpo Flow will explore, examine and study all the techniques and self defense concepts of the American Kenpo system. Each technique and self defense concepts will be studied and analyzed for the body mechanics as well as the practical application. These same techniques will be placed into a form (kata) so the students may practice the form with purpose and understanding. This philosophy of training unites the mind, body and spirit and ensures longevity in the art. 

Kenpo Flow is a great experience for adult students of all ages and abilities.
