Why American Kenpo is different.
American Kenpo uses real-world situations to prepare you in case you ever have to use what is learned. American Kenpo is not pretty, flashy or impractical. It is designed to get you out of trouble and back home safely - I cannot say as much for the one who attacks you. In the studio, we do solid body work and sparring to prepare ourselves. We work hard, we train hard and we fight hard. Because Kenpo relies on speed and brutal striking instead of physical strength, it is extremely effective and can be performed by people of any body type or experience.

Come in and pay your first two months upfront and recieve your uniform (or Gi) for free!
There will never be any contracts to sign at our studio. When you sign a contract at the gym, do you go in because you want to, or because you need to make sure that you get your money's worth? People feel trapped by contracts, they begin to resent the very thing they so loved. No contracts for us - ever.

Come in and get fit!
Sure, we're all about self-defense, but we do work out hard to warm up for classes. Come in and get a great workout, three days a week. You won't need that gym membership, we'll work you out in the studio. We do strength training, stretching and cardio in every class, and there's no membership needed at the studio - you should come in because you want to, not because you feel you have to make it worth your membership fees.
Welcome to Black Dragon Kenpo
American Kenpo Karate is an intense, American Martial Art system that utilizes situational self defense. Kenpo is fast, brutal and effective. Kenpo was not designed to win tournaments, Kenpo was designed to keep you protected on the street - where it counts the most.
How is Kenpo different?
Kenpo Karate is designed specifically to work in real-world situations. Kenpo employs defenses and counter strikes for wrestlers, grapplers, other martial artists, as well as attacks by the untrained. All Kenpo techniques are designed with real-world situations in mind - to keep you safe.
Because Kenpo relies on speed and brutal striking instead of physical strength, it is extremely effective and can be performed by people of any body type or experience.
