Kempo Transformations Are Real

For many adults, a membership to the local gym is not enough to achieve personal fitness goals. However, exercising under the discipline of martial arts creates both novelty and drive for those who seek a higher level of fitness while learning practical self defense.

Regardless of your age or fitness level, the study of Shaolin Kempo Karate leads to increased energy, improved flexibility and coordination, as well as greater strength and agility. The development of a healthy body moves in time with improvement of mental acuity — stress relief, increased focus, greater confidence, and self-discipline.

Kempo Classes Are Both Dependable & Stimulating

We offer daily classes to provide you ample opportunity for exercise and practice. Our instructors consistently bring a variety of activities and challenges to each class creating an environment that is stimulating and encouraging. As instructors, we find joy in watching our students become more peaceful and centered, and then spreading that positive energy to those around them.
