"I come to you with only Karate, empty hands, I have no weapons, but should I be forced to defend myself, my principles or my honor, should it be a matter of life or death, of right or wrong; then here are my weapons, Karate, my empty hands."   Ed Parker

For over 15 years, we have been providing both children and adults with a positive, safe learning environment where they can enjoy all of the benefits of Kenpo Karate.  Our state-of-the-art training facility is large and well equipped with padded floor mats.  We also offer a sitting area for the parents to watch their children’s classes.

At Warrior and Scholar, we pride ourselves in creating a personable, friendly environment where it is easy to get a hometown feeling.  Our students become our family and we celebrate their accomplishments together.  The best praise is when that inner sense of achieving shines through the student’s workout routine.
