About A Chat with Shaolin Dragon Kenpo School

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition? Kenpo is the most all-inclusive martial art. Having both Chinese & Japanese influences means we train with "hard" Japanese Karate style moves - the usual blocks, strikes & kicks. Using speed & power, we study "sets" to handle nearly any real situation. Then, we introduce the "soft" Chinese style.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business? There is no greater feeling than motivating someone to uncover a skill they never knew they had, and then watch them thrive. Kids are the perfect candidate to learn kenpo because they will gain building blocks to last their lifetime: energy, discipline, confidence, and fitness just to name a few.

What do you love most about your job? Kenpo is not a job; it's a way of life. The skillsets learned apply to every facet of life. Some students had injuries before joining - healed just from our stretches & muscle building. Younger students gain confidence, while veterans get a crazy workout doing things with their body that few can do. Screaming kids during class games is always a fun charge, too!

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer? Just about every student has come to us with a life-changing (or life-saving!) moment that was attributed to kenpo. Parents consistently tell us that their kids can't stop practicing at home and will become physically upset if they have to miss a class.
