"When I decided to take up martial arts, I was looking for a fun way for Jason and I to be active together. Not only did I love it, but it began to change me. When I started taking classes, I just felt so free. It is a feeling that I could never explain. As I continued, I really felt as though I was "myself". Before, I was extremely shy. I never would have been able to talk in front of a group and definitely would not have been able to let people touch me! I was a different person. Karate has completely transformed me. It has given me so much confidence and self-esteem. The transformation has been so dramatic that my co-workers thought someone had replaced my position! I just can't say enough about this school. I love being here and I feel very comfortable with you as my teacher."

Teens & Adults


Classes focus on both solo and partner work so you not only learn about how to use your body in a powerful way, but how to use its natural mechanics to your advantage in a confrontation.

Ages 13 +

Our adult class is a comprehensive approach to the study of martial arts.  Although kempo is the primary art taught, concepts and skills from other styles are also explored.

Benefits of these classes:

  • Developing a strong sense of confidence
  • Physical, mental, and emotional empowerment
  • Improved health, exercise, and energy
  • Developing strong martial arts fundamentals and self-defense skills
  • Improved focus and rapid learning for lifelong success
  • Improved physical strength, coordination, flexibility, balance, and body awareness
  • The ability to set and achieve goals

Adults work within the full range of the kempo curriculum, which includes choreographed patterns, reaction, spatial and relational awareness skills.  Classes are designed to help bring about development at a student’s own pace and learning style.  The curriculum is designed to help each student successfully complete small challenges initially in order to set the stage for attaining larger victories later.  Adults have the option to follow a belt system of advancement by demonstrating proficiency at skills required for each level, and students are encouraged to set personal goals as a part of the process.  Belts are earned by completing a curriculum and participating in a formal test.

Feel great about your success! Special events like Tournaments are available for students of all ages and skill levels.

Adults choose which classes they would like to attend by class focus. Fundamentals Classes focus on martial arts basics and how to apply them across all experience levels. Solo classes focus on Solo Performance and choreographed routines. Partner classes focus on self-defense application and exercises requiring another person. Weapons classes focus on learning weapon routines, typically Chinese. Separate fees apply for Weapons training. Check the schedule to see when each type of class is offered.

Seminars and special classes are periodically offered for Adult students, and guest presenters are frequent visitors to enhance the learning experience.  Private lessons in kempo, kungfu, and weapons training are also available.
