KENPO

---

    The primary style of martial arts taught at Professional Self-Defense Institute is Shaolin Hawaiian Kenpo. Shaolin Hawaiian Kenpo is a practical, efficient, and easy to learn system that incorporates the kicking and punching of Karate, the ground defense, throws, joint locks of Jiu-Jitsu, and the explosive striking power of Kenpo. It is an offshoot of the Hawaiian system of Kajukenbo, Sijo Gason’s Karazenpo Go Shinjutsu and The Tracy system of Kenpo.

The training consists of practice in the following areas:

● Punching, kicking, striking, blocking and stance fundamentals

● Break falls, shoulder rolls, take-downs, sweeps and throws

● Self-defense against grabbing attacks

● Self-defense against punching attacks

● Self-defense against weapon attacks (stick, knife, gun)

● Empty hand kata and weapon kata 

● Stand-up sparring (free fighting) 

● History, terminology, and philosophy of the Martial Arts

Shaolin Hawaiian Kenpo will give you a well-rounded system of self-defense that you can tailor to your own needs and interests. It was developed by Grand Master Steve Shover over 50 years of training with some of the world’s best Martial Arts instructors.
