American Kenpo (Karate & Jiu-Jitsu):
A dynamic martial arts program featuring a blend of fast striking, logical thinking, and grappling for practical self-defense. American Kenpo was Founded by Ed Parker, known as the “Father of American Karate”. This style of Kenpo is updated for modern world applications, and real-world scenarios.
Yoshin-Ryu/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Traditional Japanese stand-up techniques combined with modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for ground techniques, for a complete martial arts program. Featuring Yoshin-Ryu JuJutsu, one of the ancient Samurai arts for Standup Fighting and Grappling. We also feature Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Ground Fighting and Grappling. This makes a complete martial art, not one only focused on standing or groundfighting.
TaiChi and QiGong: Gentle, flowing movements to cultivate balance, mindfulness, and energy. Practicing TaiChi regularly can bring many health benefits.
Our school will soon be offering classes for kids. These provide young students with the confidence, discipline, and skills to succeed in martial arts and beyond. Our kids programs are built upon the foundations of the 7 Values of Bushido, as practiced by the Samurai. They are: Integrigy, Respect, Courage, Honor, Compassion, Honesty, and Loyalty. We also utilize the 7 Animals found in ancient Chinese Martial Arts. Those are: the Strength of the Tiger; the Steadfastness of the Ram; the Elegance of the Crane; the Cunning of the Snake; the Agility of the Panther; the Grace of the Eagle; and the Wisdom of the Dragon. All of this wrapped up in a package of self-defense and fun for kids of all ages!
As we open, we are focusing on adult classes with our kids’ programs coming soon.
