We offer classes for all ages in Shaolin Kenpo Karate. We don't teach kids karate, we teach adult karate to kids! Everyone learns the same curriculum in all the Kenpo program at our school. Kenpo focuses on practical self defense and every kata (form) is taught both solo and also with attackers so you always know the why and how for the new material to work effectively. 

​

Tiny Tigers Kenpo​

Our Tiny Tigers classes are for 3.5-6 year olds. They learn the same curriculum as the older kids and adults, but we add in half belts to help them since progression takes slightly longer at this age.

Kids Kenpo

Kids Kenpo classes are for children ages 7-12.

​

Teen / Adult Kenpo

Teen / Adult Kenpo classes are for 13+ year olds. Younger students may join classes based on height, maturity and with approval from Sifu Gurinsky.

More about Kenpo Karate:

​

Are you an adult or parent looking for a martial art which teaches extremely practical self defense? Trying to improve your focus, core strength, flexibility and balance? Do you or your child like understanding the why behind everything so you're not just copying patterns but learning things which actually make sense and can be used outside the dojo? 

​

What sets Kenpo Karate apart from other martial arts styles, is that it cultivates the critical thinker mentality. Every form taught in Kenpo Karate is introduced both solo, done by yourself, and also as a series of practical self defense moves with attackers. If you have ever had that light bulb moment of understanding, that is the magic of Kenpo Karate. You will learn how to defend yourself against multiple attackers in real life situations.

​

Fundamentals of Kenpo Karate include an emphasis on no wasted movement and economy of motion. We focus on blocking and counterstrikes to vital organs & pressure points. Our techniques use linear and circular strikes with intermittent bursts of speed and power. Kenpo Karate is highly effective and doesn't require you to be able to over power your opponent with brute force.
