Mind. Body. Spirit.
Traditional Chinese Kempo since 1966
Free Introductory Class & Free Week of Classes
More Than Martial Arts
Universal Kempo-Karate Schools Association blends the traditional values and philosophies of Chinese Kempo with modern martial arts and fitness techniques to create a complete system of self-defense while developing character appropriate for all ages and ability levels.
We are a family-oriented school. We teach self-defense and abide by traditional martial arts values of respect, courtesy, discipline, and responsibility. Our goal is for our students to become stronger mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Escape
Talk your way out or run. Even winning a fight can bring legal consequences. Live to fight another day.
Control
Use non-violent controls like wrist locks, arm bars, pins, and holds to stop them without hurting them.
Destroy
The last resort. Used only when absolutely necessary to defend your life or your family.
