Kenpo Karate

This program has the goal of taking a student to Black Belt and beyond and is based on the physical and mental traditions of Kenpo Karate.  Typically requiring three years to reach the level of Black belt, this is a progressive learning program that, like earning a college degree, requires regular attendance, practice, and dedication.  Students in this program develop a knowledge of self-defense, self-confidence, and ultimately self-mastery.

As students progresses through the belt ranks, the mental and physical demands increase as the students' physical conditioning and confidence increases.  This ensures that the program is always interesting and challenging.

The benefits of earning a Black Belt are many: confidence, discipline, improved lifestyle, reduced stress, and increased focus and concentration.

Regardless of your current athletic ability or fitness level, if you are looking for more than just a good workout and are willing to train, this program is perfect for you.
