At Kempo Martial Arts Academy, we will help your child to develop good habits, take responsibility, develop self-discipline, teach them the importance of keeping commitments, and develop self-confidence and self-esteem. They will have fun while learning and developing balance and coordination. They will also learn to defend themselves when needed and how to avoid or escape threatening situations.
Since Kempo Karate is a Japanese hard style karate, we only allow Black belt instructors to teach classes. Our style of karate is broken into three segments: the art or fundamentals of karate which consist of drills and exercises that promote balance, strength, coordination, and self-discipline sport karate (tournament training) which includes katas (a series of defined forms) and controlled sparring and street techniques which include throws, joint controls or locks, strikes, awareness, and escape techniques.
During the year, the school sponsors many different family events, such as: movie nights, holiday parties, seminars, charity fund raising events, and much more.
Students have a number of responsibilities on a monthly basis. They are required to do at least eight classes per month for perfect attendance. Perfect attendance is required for all promotions. Activity sheets from the Leadership Program must be completed and handed in by the end of each month. The first Thursday of every month is Awards' Night, starting immediately after the second class. This is when students who have passed their belt tests are awarded their new belts, earned patches are handed out, and everyone who has attained perfect attendance for the month is given a treat.
