| At Silk Wind Studio, we offer training in American Kenpo as defined by its founder, Edmund Parker. Kenpo is a no-nonsense system of self-defense, with influence from ancient Chinese and Japanese fighting styles. Initially starting in Hawaii during the 1950s, and refining through the 70's and 80's, Ed Parker developed a practical system specifically for the American culture of our time. |
| American Kenpo is a codified system of self-defense based on the logical progression of material from beginner to expert. This program enables one to learn basic self protection very quickly, yet requires a lifetime of dedicated training to master. Follow the links below to learn more about the American Kenpo program as taught by the instructors at Silk Wind Studio: Basic Training, Forms, Self Defense Techniques |
| IS KENPO RIGHT FOR YOU? |
| For Adults: Learning Kenpo is a physical as well as mental exercise. In addition to the obvious benefits of protecting one's self and loved ones, training is an excellent method of strength and aerobic exercise, and provides a good outlet for stress reduction. We try to maintain a fun friendly atmosphere giving students a non-competetive and supportive place to train. |
| For Kids: Kenpo training is fun, but also purposeful fun. Kids in our program learn to develop focus, coordination, and persistance in achieving individual and team based goals. Most importantly, our kids develop confidence in themselves and what they can accomplish. Follow this link to read more about our Kids Program. |
| For Teens: Not quite kids and not yet adults, the teenage years are trying times. Kenpo provides an outlet for teens to participate in a fascinating art, meet new friends, and leave the TV and XBOX behind. It has been proven that exercise patterns developed during one's teenage years will carry throughout adulthood, and Kenpo will build the teen's self-esteem during a time when all else seems to be breaking it down.Teens Program. |
