Shaolin American Self Defense Academy does not have upcoming sessions on ActivityHero right now. We can send you an email when they do.
We teach Kenpō Karate, which blends Chinese circular movements and hard Japanese linear movements to produce an effective self-defense system. Our students experience the beauty of the traditional Martial Arts and gain a strong sense of DISCIPLINE and CONFIDENCE that are essential for real-life situations. In these classes, we teach not only self-defense, but equally as important respect, self-control, sincerity, effort, etiquette, character, courage and patience.
Our program includes individualized instruction tailored to help you reach your personal goals through martial arts. Building upon the skills and traits we teach in our KIDS’ program, we start integrating lessons of confidence building and character strengthening.
Our young adult program, we take their training to the next level and touch on more real-life scenarios. For our teen students, we believe that aiming towards a black belt, will not only help you gain a foundation to face the mental obstacles in the real world, it will also assist you in your college application.
