Grappling program

A progressive grappling program will be reintroduced into the Kenpo Karate program. This program should begin soon, and will run within, and be a part of the regular Kenpo Karate classes, as classical Okinawan Karate has grappling as well as pressure point & joint manipulation within its matrix. It is just rarely seen, taught, or sadly known...

We will teach the safer, sport style of grappling in our children's program, while in the Adult classes we will present a non-sport style> down and dirty< of grappling! We're working on contingencies to get it in all Dojos.
