TRAINING STYLE

We teach Kenpo Karate, a dynamic martial art that blends the techniques of Karate, Kung Fu, and Jiu-Jitsu. Kenpo offers practical, real-world self-defense skills while also improving fitness, coordination, and discipline. Our martial arts studios are safe, clean, and are a powerful outlet for stress relief. Unlike many other martial arts, Kenpo emphasizes adaptability and personal expression, making it ideal for individuals of all ages and abilities.

Been coming here for years. Very knowledgeable and caring staff. Tried other martial arts gyms, this one is the best.

Excellent instructors and genuinely positive atmosphere all around. Our kids always look forward to their private as well as group lessons, esp. the sparing. They learn so much applicable self-defense skills. Highest respect to all the senseis. Their patience and passion in training these children are unmatched.

My kids and I both take classes here, and we love it! The family-friendly environment makes it a perfect place to learn martial arts together. The sense of community is amazing, and we've seen incredible growth in our discipline and fitness.

Sensei’s Brandon, Mark (prior Marine, I’m navy HOOYAH!) and Louie are all awesome. Very welcoming to new students, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Great atmosphere for one on one training. Highly recommend.

My son has been coming to the Kirkland dojo since he was 4 years old, he is currently 12, and he has gained an understanding of his strengths physically and mentally, thanks to the amazing instructors there. I also took a women’s self defense class that taught me what to do if I was ever attacked by someone. I thank all the instructors for their dedication and knowledge. M.P.B.
