Our staff follows the teaching philosophy of Shu Ha Ri, which loosely translates to Crawl, Walk, Run. Each technique is presented in this manner allowing the student to work on the mechanics of the techniques (Shu phase) before moving on to the flow (Ha phase). The flow allows the student to experience the intended outcome of the technique. The final phase or Ri is the extemporaneous phase or without thought. Once a student reaches this level of their training there is no more techniques, just action.

We offer a variety of training formats from ongoing martial art classes to specialized training for professionals to self protection workshops for everyone.  Take a look at what we offer and as always feel free to visit our facility or contact us for more information.

Adult Classes

Our adult program utilizes the American Kenpo Karate system as our training model. 

In the 1950's, Ed Parker founded what has come to be thought of as a perfect martial arts discipline -- American Kenpo Karate. After half a century Kenpo is the fastest-growing self-defense technique taught in the United States and is continually evolving to have relevance to contemporary lifestyles. American Kenpo Karate also allows the integration and adaptation of various other martial arts styles.

Based on four basic principles of physics; torque, back-up mass, borrowed force, and marriage of gravity, Kenpo allows even the smallest person to achieve maximum effectiveness by employing proper body mechanics.

Kenpo also stresses awareness of environment. To have a clearer perception of one's surroundings is as important as having the tools and options to deploy in specific situations. American Kenpo Karate stresses self-defense.

Kenpo teaches that it is always better to walk away from an adversary than to engage him, however, when walking away is no longer an option, then your training takes over....

Our classes focus on the self-defense aspect of the art. Whether learning and practicing a form, a set or a technique we explore the self-defense aspect within each.

The benefits are: 

• Reduces Stress
• Increased Flexibility
• Increased Energy, Stamina and Agility
• Improved Muscle Strength and Definition  
• Increased Feeling Of Wellbeing
• Increased Self Confidence
• Practical and Effective Self-Defense System

Exercise with a purpose!

There are millions of martial arts practitioners all over the world. Men, women and children of all ages and abilities are actively involved in learning how to improve their awareness, health, fitness, confidence and their ability to protect themselves.

The popular perception - learned largely from movies and fictional television dramas is that the martial arts are mainly concerned with violence. This could not be further from the truth.  In fact most skilled martial artists are less likely to initiate or become involved in physical aggression preferring instead to remove themselves from a potentially violent situation.
