What You’ll Learn
A complete, efficient, realistic and effective Martial Art
You will learn the practical art of AKKI Kenpo Karate. Straight forward, effective, efficient in structure and movement, American Kenpo is extremely practical. AKKI Kenpo Karate does not focus on just one type of attack but any type of attack at all ranges. A modern day realistic self-defense system, AKKI Kenpo Karate works for any body size and any level of physical strength. Based on natural body movements, it is easy to learn and use. In addition to learning self-defense, you will gain flexibility, strength, and overall physical fitness while gaining confidence knowing you can protect yourself.
The Art of American Kenpo – Practical not classical
Even though our world is constantly changing, most traditional martial arts resist change. Mr. Ed Parker, the father of American Karate, described his kenpo system as practical not classical, and to keep it practical he designed it to be in a state of constant refinement. Logical principles, theories based on physics, and natural body mechanics is what made Ed Parker’s Kenpo so practical.
The system of American Kenpo you will learn at CCKK is AKKI Kenpo Karate, and it is far from classical. This system was enhanced by Mr. Paul Mills, a prodigy of Ed Parker, and is the result of years of refinement and embellishments to the original American Kenpo Karate that was developed by Mr. Parker. The result of these improvements makes AKKI Kenpo Karate more effective and practical where it counts, in a self-defense situation.

A Complete Martial Art
AKKI Kenpo addresses all four ranges of combat and all possible types of attacks found on the modern day streets. You will learn how to properly execute kicks, hand strikes, blocks, parries, knees, elbows, checks, trapping maneuvers, take downs, and locks. If it is a practical and logical maneuver, you’ll probably see it in AKKI Kenpo. With the proper training you’ll get at CCKK, just about your whole body can be used as a weapon. With expert guidance from our staff, you will also learn how to use practical weapons such as clubs (sticks), knives, and more. At CCKK, we will guide you to become a complete martial artist.
Your Progression in the Art
In Kenpo Karate, levels of proficiency are designated by a graded belt system. Beginning as a white belt, students pass through eight ratings before achieving a Black Belt. The first five are Yellow, Orange, Purple, Blue, and Green. The next three levels are represented by a Brown Belt with 1 or 2 black stripes.
Our primary objective is for students to progress and achieve even higher skill levels and proficiency in AKKI Kenpo Karate. This is accomplished by progressing through a structured system with clearly designed requirements. To determine a student’s readiness for progression, a test is given. This test is simply an opportunity for a student to demonstrate the skill and ability he/she has gained in his/her present belt level. Our expert instructors will help you successfully improve the weak areas so you can progress.
Best of all since CCKK is a member of the AKKI (American Kenpo Karate International) your belt rank will be recognized internationally.
