American Kenpo, meaning “law of the fist” or “fist law,” was developed by Edmund Parker, a legend unto himself. Kenpo is a fluid art, characterized by the use of close-range strikes delivered with power and precision. It is usually an “empty hand” (weaponless) art, and uses a mix of well-placed, flowing hand strikes, kicks, throws and joint locks following scientific principles. Techniques are learned to counter specific, real-life attacks, making it an excellent self-defense art.
Our instructors are highly experienced in Kenpo and enjoy teaching students of all ages. We prioritize a safe, respectful, non-judgmental learning environment where students can push their boundaries and experience growth. We are CPR and First-Aid certified, and we disinfect our mats daily.
We welcome students of all ages 4 years and older and have classes for Tiny Tigers (4-7), Juniors (8-13), and Adults (14+). We also have special classes for seniors and women’s self-defense! Click here for a free introductory lesson!
