Shaolin Kempo is a close quarter martial art that encompasses linear and circular movements. We use the hard and the soft aspects of controlled hitting and the use of the opponent’s energy against them. The combination use of speed and power destroys your attacker. Shaolin Kempo trains in the American Kenpo self defence system, sometimes modifying the move[s] to suit our thought patterns, body mechanics, and perception of multiple attackers. Weaponry extends our limbs for versatile and practical defences, strikes, and situational awareness. Shaolin Kempo teaches the known history and lineage of how this art came to be.

Shaolin uses powerful energy and Chi alignment rendering the attacker’s movement slow and lifeless. Shaolin incorporates the 5 main animal movement styles and weapons [Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Snake, Crane] backed up by the next 3 animals [Eagle, Bear, Monkey].

Kempo obliterates the incoming force, never wasting a move, limb, or object that can be used as a weapon. We use the self-defence sequence to think of what if the attack was from multiple sources. Kempo is an ancient adaptive art for the new age. Kempo encompasses artforms including Chinese Boxing, Karate, Gung Fu, Chi Sao, Chin Na, etc.
