We teach American Kenpo Karate as developed by Grand Master Edmund Parker and we follow the grading syllabus as laid down by Ed Parker. As such, we are mindful of Ed Parker’s teaching that development continues and we are always aware of the need for change and development.
Kenpo Karate brings physical fitness to the student, it assists in disciplining the mind and body, regardless of age or gender. Our students’ age range stretches from 6 years to 65 and we treat each student as part of the Worldwide Kenpo family.
