Old School Kenpo Karate describes itself as “a small school with big results” and states that its instructors work hard to maximize each person’s potential regardless of age, gender, or athleticism. The program offers group classes for adults and for kids ages 8 and up, as well as private lessons for students who want to improve more quickly or who cannot attend regularly scheduled classes. It also offers several options for learning basic self-defense without undertaking a full martial art, including the Basic Yet Brutal: Self-Defense course, which was hailed by NBC Sports as groundbreaking when it launched and has been described as empowering scores of women by showing them how to effectively protect themselves. The environment is described as streetwise self-defense in a focused, friendly setting, and students are invited to try a free class. The program uses the slogan, “If you have the will, we’ll give you the skill!”
