The Kenpo Karate & Kickboxing Center offers instruction to children beginning at 4-years of age. Our program stresses fitness, confidence, self-esteem and discipline while at the same time teaching them to defend themselves. We believe children should accept responsibility for themselves and that they should be accountable for their actions. We encourage conflict resolution without violence and teach our young students respect for themselves and others. Our program for children has the same rank requirements as our adult program.

An integral part of our program is a “To Do” list of daily chores and other responsibilities which the student completes with his or her parent and gives to his instructor at the beginning of each week. We also offer incentives for academic achievement.

All children are required to complete the “Kid’s Self Defense Program” (see the Kid’s Self Defense Information), a comprehensive class on abduction prevention, that we offer on a quarterly basis.

While self defense is “serious business” we strive to encourage our students to have fun and enjoy this art. We host special days during the year ranging from holiday parties, Buddy Days, Parent Holiday Shopping Drop Off Day and other fun activities. Check back at this website on our “Kenpo News Blog” page for upcoming dates.
