I have a son who needed to learn discipline and have more of an 'awareness' of the environment around him. Kenpo Karate has been an excellent sport that my son really enjoys. The key however, is the skill of the instructor, and how he interacts with the kids. Rick Fowler does an amazing job of getting kids to pay attention, and to respect authority, while teaching the art of karate. I highly recommend anyone to try Rick's place first before others.

Our whole family has been studying karate with Sifu Fowler for over 10 years. My kids started when they were 5 and now help teach the kids and study with the adults. My husband and I are 3rd degree black belts, and continue to grow along with Sifu Fowler. He is always adding to the art, improving motion, tying in the core, working on proper breathing and how to add power/effectiveness in any technique. He combines discipline with fun for the kids, is an expert on core Kenpo concepts, and enhances the Kenpo with attributes from the many other martial arts he has studied. He can analyze movement

I started going to Rick Fowler's Kenpo Karate six years ago. He is a very knowledgeable, patient, detailed and fun. I appreciate that he is also a life long student himself continuing to search and find better ways to improve and hone Kenpo Martial arts. This allows him to stay fresh and excited about what he teaches us each day. I am currently a red/black belt at his school looking to test for 1st degree black in the near future. Thanks for being an encouraging and challenging Sifu!

After years of studying with Mr. Fowler, I realize I am so lucky I found this teacher. He is a deep well of martial arts knowledge, inspiring to kids and great at designing self-defense and conditioning programs for adults. He seems to have a positive impact on all who enter the school.

My two sons have been learning at the Rick Fowler Kenpo Karate facility for six months now. I appreciate the attention to detail that Mr. Fowler and the staff employ with the students. The experience at the facility has peaked their interest to achieve more skills and obtain higher skill levels in Karate....which is the same desire most want their children to possess and apply to all aspects of their lives. Mr. Fowler has a wonderful blend of professional martial art wisdom and the ability to be fun/personable to relate to the youth. I would strongly encourage parents to enroll their children at

I have been a student of Rick Fowler's Kenpo Karate School for over 2 1/2 years. I am currently working my way up to earn my black belt. The students at this karate school are very knowledgeable, respectful, and always ready to help.
Rick Fowler goes out of his way to make sure that I am progressing, and at my own pace.
I enjoy the art of Kenpo Karate, and I always look forward to coming to class.

Me and Daughter have been attending classes for a couple of months. We are lucky to have an instructor of Rick Fowler's caliber in the Irving area. He's the real deal who learned from the masters of a bygone era. Good learning environment for adults and for kids. Highly recommend

I’ve been taking private martial arts classes from Rick for nearly 10 years and truly enjoy them. For me it’s one of the most important things I do and a high value proposition. Rick is an exceedingly proficient trainer and coach. I highly recommend him to those looking for specific or individually tailored martial arts training as well as for practical advice on fitness, diet, and health.

I took my son for a intro class. He is 4-1/2 years old. Rick Fowler was a very good instructor and my son enjoyed the class greatly. The other children in the class were very disciplined and we're taking their class very seriously. I decided my son wasn't quite ready yet for the class. However we will go back to Rick's class when the time comes. He is a very professional teacher.

Rick is a very experienced Martial Arts Instructor with a gift for sharing his knowledge and experience. His is very good with all age groups and all experience levels. He has a lot of great equipment in his studio, a knowledgeable staff and a lot to offer. He has helped to develop my core strength, increased flexibility and fine-tuned technique.
