Young children are curious and active - and they sometimes have difficulty learning to control their bodies and their behavior. They crave structure and thrive in an environment that's supportive, educational, and fun. They struggle to maintain control of their movements and may be unintentionally destructive.
Give Your Kids the Lifelong Gifts of Personal Success, Confidence, Discipline and Self-Defense. Martial arts classes normally makes you think of self-defense, being strong, fit and safe. The truth is, it's all that and WAY more! As a martial arts instructor with extensive experience training kids, there is nothing better than seeing them grow firsthand.
Instead of giving into the moodiness and attitude, take them to our martial arts school instead! Teenagers are smart and capable - but they can also be their own worst enemies. Between peer pressure, their innate urge to rebel against their parents, and their surging hormones, they can be impossible to be around.
Studying martial arts is something that anybody - at any age or fitness level - can do. Martial arts classes are fun, empowering, and provide a great workout for adults. Whether you want to defend yourself, lose weight, or just have fun, our adult martial arts classes have something to offer.
Even when you do find time to hit the gym, regardless of having a schedule that's full of work, family time, and other obligations, you might be bored by your same old workout.There's nothing exciting about another go-round on the treadmill or elliptical - and you might need some encouragement to stick to a schedule and achieve your fitness goals.

I cannot speak more highly about this studio. My 4 year old son attends these classes and has grown so much from them. It is a family run business and every single person involved is genuine, thoughtful and caring. My son was having a melt down before class and Master Kenyon took his time to sit all of the kids down and tell them a story and teach them an important lesson about not giving up in such a way that they were completely captivated and engaged. I look forward to seeing continued growth, and, eventually enrolling my daughter.

I just started taking Kenyon's Soo Bahk Do in Pacific Beach- this place is unspeakable, it is organized clean, the teacher is impeccable, great knowledge & presentation of this fighting form- they have dressing rooms for you, nice basic good size studio, its been here for 50 years, before I was born- also I take Kempo @ American Kempo Karate & that's also been there for 50 years! How wonderfully odd! What more can I say? Great workout, I just learned the 3 basic form[s, some blocking forms, & kick{s & basic starting stuff! Received my beginning belt in Soo Bahk Do- I took

Our kids have been coming here for almost two years. We commute from East County because Master Kenyon is worth it. We have seen our children grow in physical strength, flexibility, confidence, and in using their voices to express themselves, too!
Yes, he teaches punches and kicks and blocks and rolls and has tons of positive energy for the kids. They always have fun when they go. However, he also teaches them respect, discipline, responsibility, the importance of high standards, and that "Winners never quit, quitters never win, and I choose to be a winner".

Kenyon's Soo Bahk Do Martial arts IS as good as it gets! I was looking for a martial arts school for my son and have driven by Kenyon's since I was a little girl. I stopped in and met the instructor, and set up an appointment. He was friendly and inviting. Mr. Kenyon made both myself and my son comfortable immediately. We observed a children's class which seemed fun, energetic, yet disciplined. My son started the children's program and loves his martial arts training! Best martial arts school in the Clairemont/Pacific Beach area. And I have researched many! I may even start

We found Kenyon's Soo Bahk Do for my daughter from her friend. The two girls (seven years old) have been enrolled for several months. The two have grown tremendously and respect their instructor, Master Kenyon with utmost regard. Master Kenyon has taught them skills and fostered their self-discipline.
My three-year-old son watched the class previously and anxiously wanted to join in. Master Kenyon would involve him at the end of class to make him feel included. Over time, Master Kenyon saw that my son would benefit from disciplined instruction and volunteered to have him join class to

Kenyon's Soo Bahk Do has proven to be such a positive physical and mental experience for me. I have always had a curiosity about karate and the martial arts, and although it took me until my mid-30s to give it a try, I couldn't be happier that I did. Master Kenyon is a phenomenal instructor, beyond knowledgable, and the other masters who work with him are so dedicated and helpful as well. The people in the studio create such a supportive, welcoming atmosphere, and I have become friends with so many of the students in there. Not only do I leave each class feeling that I received a great

Master Kenyon is a phenomenal teacher to both adults and kids. I have an 8 year old son who's been training for almost three years. The training at Kenyon's Soo Bahk Do has brought out the absolute best in him. It's an incredible workout for kids and Master Kenyon is great at keeping the classes engaging and challenging. My son is completely hooked and looks forward to training every time. Do your kids a favor and get them involved!

I never thought I would get involved with the martial arts, but after visiting Kenyon's studio and giving it a shot about a year ago, I was hooked! I really appreciate the community feel of the studio and how Kenyon facilitates a supportive environment for anyone - women, men, or children. Classes are a good mix of a rigorous workout, mental stimulation from learning new things, comaraderie, and a sense of accomplishment.
