Bryan Hawkins Kenpo Karate

I have been training here since 2012. This is a safe, respectful (and well-respected) martial arts studio where you can feel confident bringing your kids or yourself. All are welcomed. The instructors are knowledgeable and kind, and the atmosphere is family friendly but does not water down the martial art in any way. Kenpo Karate is both adaptable to anyone and complex enough to keep you on your toes. Mr. Hawkins was a student of Mr. Ed Parker (founder of Kenpo Karate), so his knowledge of the art is both first hand and encyclopedic. The high number of long-time students is a testament to the quality of the instruction, and the character of the community that exists across the three dojos.

This studio has changed our lives for the better in so many ways. The family lead community is kind, diverse, well versed with all types of kids. We have met so many people that say they have grown up taking karate from Bryan Hawkins and it’s one of the best parts of their growth from childhood to adulthood and they still smile when talking about it. Our son has gained focus, insight, socialization, community and a group of amazing teachers to admire. A game changer, a life changer, and a home away from home. Grateful beyond words to Bryan Hawkins and the entire staff. Best thing we have ever invested in for our growing boy!
