 About Classes

Hawaii Kenpo Karate, LLC focuses on self discipline and joining mind and body as one. Students will start at the beginning level (white belt), progressing to black belt (belt chart below). Our base system is Kajukenbo (Karate, Jujitsu, Kenpo, Boxing). This type of martial arts was put together for practical street fighting. So our focus is teaching street fighting techniques.
Click here for a brief history of Kajukenbo

Students will be learning blocks, punches, kicks, combinations, Grab arts, ground work, Kata's and more! Body conditioning along with Fist(knuckle) training is a must. As students progress, promotion will depend on the students attention, ability and participation. It get's harder as a student progresses and defining the techniques will be required more to move further up in the ranks.
As well as learning how to fight, we also teach all students to be respectful, to have discipline, to focus, when to use and when not to use what you learn.

Children - We are always open to accept youths who are looking to learn self defense. We will try our best to bring out your child's best abilities in our system. When your child achieves the rank of black, be assured he/she will be a well rounded person. Accepting Ages 6 to Adult. Any younger age will have to be discussed with the instructor.

Tournaments - We have tournaments held by affiliate schools and other styles of martial arts schools. It will be up to the individual and families if she/he wants to enter tournaments when tournaments come up.

Chart Below:
     There are 2 separate belt ranking charts to choose from before starting up. Chart on the left is our Juniors level. This chart is for students who are 6 to 10 years old and attending our 1 hour classes.

*     Junior level is our beginner level which is 1 hour per class. The requirements for this level, a portion of our system is left out to make it easier for students to progress. When the child/youth reaches the green belt level, he/she will be required to start to learn all system requirements and would have to start to attend the advance level 2 hours classes from this level and up, more like catching up. Although it is highly recommenced that junior students learn the whole system from the beginning. It will vary on each junior student on how long it will take to move forward.
Ask an instructor for more information on length and requirements needed when a student reaches this level.

Junior Black belts are given to all students under the age of 18 who meet all requirements.

     The Chart on the right is the Advance chart. Adults and children
(all ages) Will be using our regular belt ranking which most schools use.

Again! Belt promoting depends on students attendance, Techniques, participation and knowledge. Belts are not given if student does not meet requirements. Playing, not participating, not listening, not attending, late attending, disrupting class, etc. will be an added factor.
