"Our school is made up of a great mix of students, all ages, male and female, from all walks of life. All with different needs and reasons for being here".

We are "Old School" in our ways of teaching Our Arts.

We do not babysit, or rent out the Dojo for Parties.

We pride ourselves in the way we were taught and how we grow our Art and our Students.

We are not a "McDojo" Who will stamp you into a mold, charge you for a test and pass you because you pay.

You are an individual and will be treated and taught as such.

Our system is based on Real Self Defense for Real Life situations, not the latest fad.

We also pride ourselves on the personal growth that comes with learning a "True Martial Art", from "Real Instrutors" who have been there. Not just from books or videos.

We dont claim to be the "End All Be All" for everyone, Infact, not everyone will be accepted as a student. You must reach out and find the School that is right for your needs and reasons.

We would love to meet you and talk further. Please Call or Email us to set up your interview. Thank You

Master James R. Adkins

Like most of the martial arts, Kenpo's roots can be traced back to China. Our defined system and the foundation it's built on comes from the theories set forth by the Father of American Kenpo, Ed Parker. These foundations were further expanded by Master Tatum and now further explored by  Master James R. Adkins. "Kenpo is a self-perpetuating art that continues to grow with every new student. "

Our Kung Fu is drawn from Modern day WuShu and The Teachings of the Shaolin temple.

Our Ninpo is from The Togakrue Ryu
