1. We teach realistic self-defense skills for today's streets
At CCKenpo you will learn simple self-defense skills that will work on anyone. Other schools teach karate-tag, or how to flip around and look flashy, we prefer to teach you how to stop a violent attacker in the fastest most direct way. Our curriculum covers all situations for attack including:
- Weapon against empty hands
- Weapon against weapon
- Standing grappling
- Ground fighting
- Standup fighting toe to toe
Not only will you learn how to physically defend yourself, but also how to avoid conflict, diffuse a situation verbally, and develop a self-defense mental attitude. We cover all the bases at Carroll County Kenpo to build success in our students.

2. Fun way to get in shape
Everyone wants to look good, and feel better about themselves. CCKenpo's self-defense curriculum has a self directed fitness program built into classes. This program allows the student to take exercises at their level, but encourages pushing our physical limitations to make our body feel better and work harder. Stop in and see our exercise routine at the beginning of class. You will see that our no pressure program will work for you.

3. We teach AKKI curriculum American Kenpo
There are different types of American Kenpo Karate, think of it like different families with one grand-father. The system of Kenpo we teach is the AKKI curriculum. Why? Because at CCKenpo we strongly believe that AKKI Kenpo is the best for building capable self-defense practicioners. AKKI Kenpo has been refered to as the "Special Forces of Self-Defense" and for good reason. The AKKI's simple motions, and to the point techniques builds applicable self-defense skills quickly. We want to arm you with the best, and the AKKI material is just that!

4. Social activities keep class friendly and loose
There is no secret self-defense law that says class can not be fun. Yes self-defense is a serious topic but no one wants to attend a class that is a downer. At CCKenpo we host many events for students to get to know one another. Our previous events include:
- BBQ's
- Pizza Nights
- Movie Nights
- Happy Hour
- Holiday Parties
We want to expand the events available to students and are always looking for new fun activities.

5. Qualified instructors certified in CPR and First Aid
All instructors are certified in CPR and First Aid. We want to give you a great self-defense experience but also provide it in the safest possible environment. All instructors are also certified black belts in the AKKI curriculum. All classes are run by adult black belt instructors, we do not allow teens or pre-teens to run classes. The last thing an adult student needs is to be told what to do by a kid.
