About East West Kenpo Karate Studios
American Wu Shen Pai ŽKenpo Karate is a balanced system of Self-Defense, utilizing both hands
and feet. It incorporates circular and linear movements with intermittent
power where and when needed. This allows the individual to blend with
encounter's that may occur on the streets today. Movements are natural
and easy to learn so the system adapts to the individual's body, and doesn't
over stress any particular natural weapon. Emphasis is also placed on
logic so the student understands what he is learning and then is able
to quickly use the appropriate technique for defense in an attack. Wu
Shen Pai Kenpo's practitioners are known for their speed, explosive power,
and practical self defense.
WHY KENPO?
From the very first lesson, the student learns how relatively easy it
is to learn. since the movements are natural, the student begins to formulate
self-defense techniques in the first lesson. Every one learns at different
rates. Knowing this, each instructor encourages the student to learn as
much as they can in any one lesson, but to move only at their rate. The
student's development is in relationship to the art not to other students.
Our
job is to help you reach YOUR maximum potential.
Since everyone is built differently, students are not asked to use movements
that do not suit their own body build. For instance, some people prefer
using their legs over their hands and some hands over legs. Knowing this
the instructor will develop the strong points as well as work on the weak
points.
LEARN FROM THE BEST
Professor Jones has personally trained each instructor and hand picked
them for teaching. Each instructor knows and understands the reasons why
an individual enrolls for lessons. The instructor's approach is courteous,
caring and motivated to help the student reach their goals.
After your first lesson, you will realize the benefits are many as you
realize your potential. Physically you feel a sense of achievement as
your whole body is awakened from each workout. Each lesson is empowering
as you leave knowing YOU CAN and you have the ability to defend yourself.
Your new found confidence becomes apparent to yourself and there in turn
becomes apparent to others - a positive trait to keep attackers away.
The more obvious benefits are cardiovascular, muscle toning and strength
development. It is not a mindless workout, but rather a workout that keeps
you focused, so as to discipline the mind as well as the body. Through
this, all ages - young and old- find that discipline becomes something
that is reachable, and on top of everything, it is fun. So, bring a smile
when you come in! As each student progresses in their lessons, belt promotions
become available as each student is tested in their ability. Belt promotions
are important goals as they show a student where they are in relation
to their training - where they are, where they were, and where they need
to go.

renown character building and life skills development program has been
implemented. Our instructors are not only specialists in communicating
Wu Shen Pai Kenpo successfully, they are trained educators as well. Professor

Master's Degree in Education (M.Ed.) East West Kenpo Karate Studios is the only
studio in the Western United States where the instructors are fully qualified

Teaching children has ALWAYS been a specialty at East West Kenpo Karate Studios. A child's life is as real to them as it is to an adult's world, often times more. Our instructors get down on their knees to teach, so as to be eye to eye with the child. They don't teach down to the child but to them on a level of respect to the child. This encourages willingness from the child to try as hard as they can and in turn they develop self-esteem. Children as well as adults are taught to walk away from a fight but if they have no other choice but to defend themselves, they know they can - THIS IS CONFIDENCE. This confidence is carried with them into their school work and daily lives.
