If you are an adult who is looking for a way to lose weight, strengthen your body and otherwise get healthy, you might want to consider signing up for martial arts classes. Not only do martial arts help you gain more confidence, learn self-discipline and become better prepared for self-defense, but it offers a wide variety of health benefits as well.
Have you been thinking about taking martial arts lessons, but you are afraid that you are too old to start? If so, you are not alone. Many adults who are interested in the martial arts talk themselves out of pursuing their interest simply because they think they are too old. Yet, the reality is that you are never too old to take martial arts and that there are actually millions of adults who are taking martial arts classes.
Once they reach the intermediate level they can inter our Junior leader program, that puts your child into a teaching role where they learn the responsibility of teaching the newer students. In this program, they learn how respect is earned through commanding properly, not by demanding improperly. Students who continue they learning through this program graduate as a junior Black Belt.
The adult / Teen UKKS program introduces the student to the art of Aerican Kenpo as redefined through the UKTS (Universal Kenpo Training System) developed by Mr. Cooper. Students first learn a solid foundation comprised of basic blocks, kicks, punches and strikes as they learn the American Kenpo System of self defense.

It's never too late to start learning karate. I joined the studio training in adult class about three years ago as an uncoordinated and overweight individual. In my time training at the studio I gained confidence, weight loss, coordination and physical strength that continues to improve every week.
Sensei Steve Cooper is a very passionate instructor and will do everything he can do to make you the best you can be. I would highly recommend anyone looking to train in martial arts to give this studio a try.

My husband and I joined United Kenpo Karate Studio on March 2013. We are very happy with this studio and our teachers, specially Mr. Caswell. They are very friendly, patient and professional, eager to teach you quality martial art. We have a chance to train with highly skilled black belts on kenpo techniques, fighting skills and on overall on our physical and mental development. Personally I admire youth in this studio with exceptional attitude for the age, what proves that these guys are great with kids. And beyond all, it's great fun! :)
