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.

Testimonials

I have come to learn that there is no flawless execution of a form; every block, strike or movement can in some way be improved. There is no perfection in Shaolin Kempo only the pursuit of perfection. To me this is sublime. To me this is what makes Kempo an art form; a continuous creation and expression of my effort to achieve what will never be achieved.

Potomac Kempo - Pillars of Kempo - Service

The Pillars of Kempo – Service

April 27, 2016 By Chris Santillo

As with the other Pillars, Service is built into Kempo both in its propagation as well as in its implementation. It is true that Shaolin Kempo would not exist today if it were not for the Service — in the form of teaching — of untold generations of instructors. But it is perhaps more interesting […]

Potomac Kempo - Dany

Student Profile: Dany

Every once in a while, Dany watches a martial arts movie. “You see these guys jumping 20 feet in the air, and making it look easy,” he says. “In real life, you can’t do all those amazing things. But you can still protect other people and protect yourself.” Since he started his kempo training four […]
