An important part of your Kempo training will be developing your body to its fullest potential.  By developing your strength, endurance and flexibility, you will be able to deal with the rigors of self-defense as well as day-to-day activities like yard work or playing with the kids.

Each class begins with light warm-ups followed by vigorous calisthenics and  then stretching.  Some of the exercises you will master include pushups, sit-ups and jumping rope.  This regimen prepares you for the training you will encounter during class. Safety and form are always our number one concern so that we avoid new injuries or aggravating old ones.

At Universal Kempo Karate Schools, we recognize that each student arrives with a unique set of capabilities and limitations.  That is why the training program is adjusted to fit your personal needs.  As you progress, you will find yourself adding capabilities and shedding limitations.  After a while, the old you will be a memory and the new you will be stronger, happier and more confident.
