“The ultimate in self-defense.” This Chinese-based art was brought from Hawaii to the mainland U.S. by Ed Parker, the Grandmaster of the system. Kenpo is a very self defense oriented system. The goal of self-defense is to prevent harm to yourself or loved ones. If you cannot walk away or talk your way out of a situation, you may have to fight. While there are no guarantees, the skills achieved through the diligent study of the time-proven Kenpo techniques will certainly increase your odds of success and survival in such a confrontation. You need no previous experience to begin, only the desire to survive and protect.
Kenpo Karate has been internationally recognized as an art which promotes the attributes of integrity, pride, honor, discipline, and confidence while learning to protect oneself. Kenpo Karate isn’t just a sport but a way of life. Students carry the values of karate into their everyday life and become better individuals at school, work, and at home. Numerous articles have been written describing the values of Kenpo Karate(stress relief, conditioning, self-awareness, respect etc.). At Doyle’s American Karate Academy we develop students to become their personal best. Our classes are taught by trained instructors who have a sincere desire to help each student work toward the goal of Black Belt Excellence. Classes are separated by age and belt ranking so our instructors can give individualized instruction within classes. Please email us or give us a call. We look forward to hear from you.
