Welcome to Kempo-Karate
Mike Petersen's Kempo Karate School provides an exciting and dynamic atmosphere dedicated to the instruction of real world self defense. Our focus is to teach realistic self defense in a non aggressive manner. Students will learn aspects of stand up fighting, ground fighting, throws, pressure points, chokes and joint manipulation, as well as basic defensive weapons skills.
Our goal is to teach awareness skills and avoidance as your first line of defense, but to be able to defend ourselves if escape is impossible.
Boasting one of the largest dedicated training areas in the area, Mike Petersen's Kempo Karate School has a large staff of certified instructors to provide a small group feel while belonging to a large school. We constantly stress humility and acceptance in an effort to improve the mind, body and spirit.
The School motto is: Compassion, Integrity and Loyalty
"Loyalty is earned- never demanded."
