WE HAVE A NEW TRAINING SCHEDULE


I now teach private lessons and one group class. The base cost per private lesson is affordable enough for anyone to train. This is the only group currently teaching the standard Ed Parker's Kenpo curriculum, training in Pekiti Tirsia and authorized to teach IMUA Kenpo in Houston, Texas.

Group training sessions are held at Abhyasa Yoga on Sundays from 1:00pm - 2:30pm. Near the corner of Westheimer & Montrose. In the same building as Scott Gertner's Sky Bar.

 

Rates are $15 per session

Private session classes breakdown into Kenpo basics, Kenpo concepts & theory and application (techniques).

 

There is an emphasis on understanding the concepts and principles behind the system, all forms & sets are taught, freestyle (sparring & sparring theory) is also taught. The training curriculum follows the AKF standards and allows students to receive lineage and rank certificates from both the Platform and Mr. Brian Duffy (7th Dan). In addition to the standard curriculum various aspects of combat and development of warrior skills are explored. This includes focus mitt training, muay thai pad training, Kenpo Counter point drills, various escrima/ arnis stick (single/double baston) & knife drills (both Pekiti Tirsia & Sayoc Kali) and Kuntao/Silat principles as prescribed by IMUA Kenpo. IMUA classes are fully backed by the Grandmaster of the system and rank certificates are also issued from the organization and the platform. I encourage martial science exploration of my students and all egos are checked at the door, including mine. If you are looking for a training family contact us....
