The Philosophy of American Martial Arts Schools can be summed up with the following:

American Kenpo Creed

“I come to you with only karate, my empty hands. I have no weapons. But should I be forced to defend myself, my principals or my honor. Should it be a matter of life or death, of right or wrong. Then here are my weapons. Karate, my empty hands.”

Mr Ed Parker
Founder American Kenpo Karate

Our school creed

“I will develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that would limit,
My mental growth or my physical health.
I will develop self discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.
I will use common sense before self-defense, and never be abusive or offensive,
We are a black belt school!
We’re dedicated,
We’re motivated,
We’re on a quest to be our Best.
Winners never quit, quitters never win, I choose to Win.”
