Kempo Teaches Younger Kids Self-Discipline

Through consistency and praise, our instructors help children to listen, control their bodies, and focus their minds on a given task.

Our classes will develop your child’s physical fitness — his or her ability to run, jump, balance on one foot, move with precision and strength — all the while maintaining a code of utmost respect and honesty.

With the integrity and self discipline they develop while studying at Potomac Kempo, your child’s desire to excel in school and at home will blossom.

Kempo Sharpens Older Kids’ Character

20230330 184018

Kids spend more time hypnotized by electronics and computer screens than ever before. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that we encourage our youth to put physical activity back into their daily lives.

At Potomac Kempo, our instructors motivate students with enthusiasm and a tireless demand for each individual’s greatest physical and mental effort. Your child will develop muscular strength, cardiovascular fitness, coordination, and balance through structured exercises that are geared towards developing them into a healthy, well rounded person, while teaching them practical self defense.

The development of a healthy body moves in time with improvement of mental acuity, empowering your child to confidently interact and connect with the world around him or her. Ultimately, our goal is to instill a foundation of self-motivation, discipline, and character, upon which your child will build a lifetime of success.
