Advanced Karate- Sparring (Green Belts and Up)

Learning self-defense helps you feel safe and confident in today’s society. Martial Arts are an excellent form of stress management. Getting in shape and feeling good offers a balance to our often busy and demanding lives. Martial Arts improve the quality of your life by teaching you valuable life and success skills such as mental focus, self-control and life balance.
Kenpo Karate strives to maintain a balance between its “martial” aspect and its “art” aspect. The “martial” aspect is expressed by a fast, powerful, effective and practical method of self-defense. The “art” aspect is expressed by its commitment to both tradition through presentation of form and the pursuit of excellence through self-expression, artistic creativity, and humility.

Client Reviews

Our 6yo has been going to classes there for the last (almost) three years and our 3yo just started classes - They both love it. All in all, we can't say enough good things about Lama's and the ladies.

I've been taking my 4 year old to Lama's Kenpo Karate for 2 weeks and he is totally HOOKED. Ms. Thompson and Ms. Fernandez are amazing. It's refreshing to see people who expect a high level of respect from kids but actually reciprocate.
