Our workouts are a great way to get in shape and lose weight.

Martial arts is like an exercise program with a bonus! You learn to defend yourself while you get in shape by burning calories and kicking your metabolism into overdrive. Classes provide muscle toning, flexibility, cardiovascular conditioning and weight loss. Your resting heart rate will decrease and your ability to maintain an increased heart rate will rise. You will breathe better and will have more energy. Martial arts is the ultimate in physical fitness, and builds your mind as well as your body.

Our classes relieve stress.

Martial arts classes are well known for their stress relieving benefits. You will also find yourself more resistant to colds and flu and will find that your recovery time through a sickness will be better than ever. The emphasis on mind body training goes far beyond the benefits of standard, health club type exercise programs.

Our Classroom practice sessions give you confidence.

The confidence building part of our program is what students appreciate the most. Adults who take Kenpo Karate lessons at AKF develop a great amount of self-confidence. Confidence is one of the most important things you need in life. It dictates how the cycle of your day goes. If you lack confidence it is difficult to get through life in a positive manner and it’s next to impossible to be successful.

At AKF's Dojo you will be encouraged to take chances to push yourself to the next level. You will truly amaze yourself. With increased self-confidence you will gain a positive outlook on life.

What we teach you could save your life.

At our school, everything we teach is reality based. You learn both the mental and physical aspects of self-defense. Our instructors work very hard to insure that most any situation you might encounter is covered in the classroom under safe learning conditions, so you will be prepared. Our students learn how to recognize danger and avoid a potentially dangerous situation before it arises. You will learn to have the mindset of reality and not fantasy. You will increase your strength, stamina, flexibility and will be able to strike with effective power, speed and precision.

No matter what size you are or your psychical ability we will teach you how to protect yourself. Nothing can take the place of security in knowing that you can defend yourself, if you have too.

Our program is a lot fun.

The reason our program is so successful is because we make the classes fun and exciting. We learned a long time ago if people are having fun, they learn much faster. All you need is the desire, and you will develop the will and the inner strength to achieve your goals. So no matter what age you are it is never to late to learn how to protect yourself. Do it now!
