A Great Place to Learn Kenpo - Kenpo Orphans Welcome!

Sacramento Kenpo Karate is a very warm and friendly school teaching the art of self-defense. It's a great place for women to feel safe and for men to smack the heck out of each other, if that's what they want. The men can feel safe too. :)

SKK Monthly Update –

 

Our children class now has more color in it. We now have orange, yellow and white belts. Awesome! I am very impressed with how hard everyone is working. Keep up the hard work everyone. We still need to receive the $10.00 belt fee from some of our newly appointed yellow belts, please get that to us promptly.

 

We have some new students for September. Please say hi to Flying Eagle Claw, Robert, Ciera and Maddie.  We are starting to get a little more color amongst our students. It is very exciting to see how well everyone is progressing. Keep up the good work guys and gals.
