The program describes its self-defense system as a FUN and EXCITING system of karate for kids and adults, with a well-planned approach to teaching beginners that focuses on fitness, self-defense, and fun, and notes that beginners are welcome and each student advances at their own pace. The school states that it is not just about fighting, kicking, and punching but promotes real world self-defense techniques and principles of compassion, discipline, and determination, and that instructors are constantly learning cutting-edge strategies. It also highlights life skills for personal growth and success, character-building skills developed and improved with Kenpo 5.0’s traditional values and philosophy, bag work and power workouts multiple times per week, and a SUPER-LOW web special, and it offers a virtual tour of the school.
The school was started by Instructor Antranig (Anto) Parseghian. Its mission is to provide a place where all martial artists can come together to enhance their self defense syllabus and become a co-contributor of an idea to work together for the common good. Jeff Speakman’s Kenpo 5.0 Pasadena is affiliated with Jeff Speakman Kenpo 5.0 Schools through JeffSpeakman.com/Worldwide/, and describes itself as a martial arts family that offers self-defense classes and becomes the student’s second home.
Parent and family testimonials describe positive experiences with the way the school brings younger children along, note improvements in behavior and focusing in class, and mention that children are excited and happy to attend classes. Other testimonials mention a family environment in the studio, satisfaction with the program, appreciation for the staff, and a sense of a kenpo family/community. One parent reports enrolling a shy, introverted child and, after almost a year, observing that the child became more confident, disciplined, and talkative, and highly recommends the place, describing the staff and instructors as one of a kind.
