Junior Black Belt Kempo Classes
(Tiny Tigers, Little Dragons, Pre-teens)
The children who join Kempo Academy will enter into our Junior Black Belt program. Students learn and practice Shaolin Kempo from White belt to Junior Black Belt. There are 12 belt ranks.  The students will learn Defensive maneuvers called “combinations”.  These are numbered from 1 – 26 with 3 combinations having alternate versions for a total of 29 combinations.  These combinations along with the fitness training, stances, punching, kicking, and blocking systems are part of the junior black belt curriculum.  We also have activities that range from games to self control practice.  A student who attends class 2 times per week can progress from white to Black Belt in about 3 years.

Bonus Material
In addition to the material that we teach in the Junior Black Belt curriculum, we also teach the adult level curriculum to students who demonstrate the aptitude and readiness for the additional work.  Junior Black Belts will learn Combinations 1-26 and 8 point blocking.  The adult curriculum also includes 23 Kempo maneuvers, 24 Jiu Jitsu techniques, 10 point blocking, and 11 kata forms.  All of our techniques are taught in their original movements.  In some cases we will teach alternate techniques that are more practical in practice than the original movements.

Competition Sparring
Sparring is a style of fighting.  The goal of which is to score points by making contact with point zones on the opponents body.  It is a rough form of tag.  Students are required to wear protective padding during all practices and competitions.  Sparring is a bonus class at Kempo Academy.  A member who attends class 2 times per week can participate in sparring class at no charge.  There is however a onetime charge for the sparring gear that each student needs for the class.

Punching in
Punching in is a practice technique in which two students will practice their karate maneuvers on each other.  This is the most useful and practical way of learning Kempo.  We want to prevent any injuries from happening during this practice.  The students at lower ranks will be limited in their contact force.  As students achieve higher ranking and expertise they will learn to punch in more forcefully.  The goal of punching in is to learn to apply your Kempo knowledge on opponents of all sizes and shapes.

Tournaments
Kempo Academy hosts a tournament every year.  We also receive invitations from other Kempo Schools in the region to participate in their tournaments.  Every student member is encouraged to participate in these events.  We offer competition in Defensive Manuvers, Kata Forms, Sparring, Kung fu hand forms, and Kung fu weapon forms.  Competition is broken down by age ranges and belt ranges.  All participants receive trophies as a reward for competing.  There are also demonstrations by the Black belt instructors and the Demo Team.  These are great events to go to and see other people and how they apply their Martial Arts skills.

This class is counted as 1 of the regular group classes. The demo team wears a special uniform which is an additional charge.

MMA training
We offer MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) workouts.   We set up a circuit of hardcore training, punching and kicking excercises to help build strength and endurance.  We also Teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/Grappling techniques.  This class is available at no additional charge on a trial basis for 1 month and counted as a group class.  After 1 month the class has a separate agreement and costs from the Kempo agreement and costs.

Kung-fu/ Hand forms and Weapons
We teach Tom Toy Wah Lum Kung Fu, and Fu Jao Pai (Black Tiger Claw) Kung fu styles.  These hand and weapon forms are only available to school members.  The training is the most rigorous we offer.  Kung fu is the Dance of the Martial arts.  Kung fu is scheduled and charged as a private lesson.
