About
DePalma's Team USA Martial Arts offers instruction in Kenpo Karate and other martial arts, including self-defense techniques, forms, and sparring. Students take part in Kumite (freestyle or sparring), weapon training, and practice defense against knives and clubs. Kenpo in this program includes vital point attacks using punches, strikes, kicks, and throws, and students are encouraged to change and adapt the techniques they learn.
Since 1986, TEAM USA Martial Arts has been providing instruction in Kenpo Karate and the martial arts. Kenpo in this program is described as a style of Karate developed in the West, with the words Kenpo and Kempo both meaning “Law of the Fist.” The Kenpo style taught here uses three primary methods—self-defense techniques, forms, and sparring—and includes training in weapons and defense against knives and clubs starting at the yellow belt level, with weapon training often beginning at the green belt level. The program states that forms and katas initially focus on mental concentration and discipline, and later on self-awareness and self-expression, while Kumite is described as a way for students to test their skills, self-confidence, and self-control in friendly competition in a controlled environment. The Kenpo style at TEAM USA Martial Arts is described as striving to maintain a balance between “martial” (effective, efficient self-defense concepts and techniques) and “art” (creativity, self-expression, and presentation of form). TEAM USA Martial Arts identifies Kyoshi DePalma as its leadership, notes that he started his schools in Connecticut with locations in Newington, Wethersfield, Berlin, Southington, and Cromwell, and states that Arizona locations began in 1992. The program lists a main phone number of 480 892-3949 and email contacts at [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].
