Purple Belt Pledge

I hold the art of Kenpo sacred and freely take upon myself the obligation and responsibility that I shall never misuse my skill to hurt or make afraid. I shall fight only if forced to defend myself and shall be slow to anger, loath to take offence, quick to forgive, and to forget personal affront.

Parker Ed, (1987), Infinite Insights into Kenpo Vol 5, Delsby Publications Los Angeles

My 3 children have attended Kempo classes for the past 3 years and in that time the difference in their attitudes towards other people has changed immensely for the better. Shaolin Kempo has excellent instructors who keeps the attention of all in the class. All the instructors are always willing to help wherever possible in all aspects of the children’s training. Thank you John and the other instructors for your help throughout the year with the children’s training.

Thanks Tammy

Lara started at Shaolin Kempo in 2^nd term 2012 at the age of 5. Our busy life style with both Brendan and I working full time we currently can only accommodate training once a week, although she ‘plays’ self defense on the weekend with daddy. Lara has excelled in self confidence and looks forward to her class every week. We were very proud of her and Lara’s cousin when they both graded and obtained their Orange Belts at the Christmas 2012 break up. Lara has already started to ask when classes start again for next year.

Thanks Mel
