Why Kenpo?
American Kenpo Karate Academies offer the finest in Martial Arts instruction for adults and children. Martial Arts is good, clean fun for kids - a great way to give them a head start on life. At A.K.K.A. USA Karate Schools, children will learn the positive benefits of self-discipline and confidence, develop coordination, and increase strength and flexibility. Because a structure of respect is built into Martial Arts, children develop the ability to listen, learn and achieve within a highly regulated environment. This proves to be an excellent reinforcement of study techniques for school.
Karate feels good! Many of our adult students who have tried other forms of exercise like running, lifting weights or aerobics say that nothing makes them feel as good as Martial Arts. The exercise and mental training give them the feeling that they could defend themselves if necessary. Martial Arts has been the choice of wise men and women for over 2,000 years.
At all A.K.K.A. academies, we teach the fundamentals of the Martial Arts by combining the time-tested Eastern philosophy of Martial Arts with the modern approach of Western teaching philosophy. We offer a well-balanced program for adults and children that emphasizes pride, self-esteem, fitness and integrity.
Our schools offer a full range of Kenpo Karate instruction for children and adults. Entire families can train together, making Karate a truly family-oriented activity of fitness and fun
We start with 5-7 year olds in our “Little Tiger” program to help acclimate to the social structures and activities for training in and out of the Dojo. Our “Junior” program is specifically designed for kids from 7-15. We teach the adult program to anyone starting from age 12 and up. Since you must be 16 to receive an adult black belt rank and it takes 4 years minimum to reach this level.
