"Do what you love and you'll never work another day in your life"

What style of Martial Arts do you teach?

Our system is based on the theory that no one martial art has all the answers. It is a blended system, that practices some of the Karate traditions, but is in no way bound by them allowing us to also offer real world, no-nonsense self-defense, which is sometimes lacking in Sport based systems. This blend of arts is called simply Goshin Kempo Karate. (Self Defense...The law of the fist...Empty hand).

Knowing that every Martial Art form has something to offer, Goshin Kempo Karate borrows techniques from: Okinawan Kempo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Dynamic Combat Method, Hoetikan Ju-Jitsu, Aikido, Chu Fen Do, CDT, Muay Thai, Arnis, Eskrima, Krav Maga and American Boxing just to name a few. Goshin Kempo Karate offers something for everyone and provides solutions for any self-defense situation.
