Our Business

Kenpo Connection provides the finest training an individual can get when it comes to Self Defense.

Our system has been street tested and approved over and over. We have trained many law enforcement officers who have lived to about it and we have trained many women who have sucessfuly escaped from life threatening situations.

We have taken children with A.D.D , A.D.H.D and helped them learn to achive - focus- never give up and live a more normal life through our discipline of Kenpo Karate. Kenpo Connection name was founded in 2002 from it's current name of Antak's Kenpo Karate center formed in 1991. The name was changed because of the different studies of kenpo Mr.Antak has learned through out his career and  thus came the name Kenpo Connection.

We treat all of our students like family and respect them and their abilities. We meet every individual face to face and insure their best comes out in each one of them. We believe in individuality because we are not all created equal. We believe in God and his son Jesus Christ who is the judge of all humanity. We believe in the Kenpo Creed:

I am a Kenpo Karate student I come to you with empty hands I have no weapons should I be challenged provoked or cornered I can and will defend myself. I choose to be pure of body mind and spirit to respect my fellow man to rely on God as my witness to never sink in fear and always rise to a challenge to be thankful to God for the land in which I live and to my Instructor for the art that he gives Kenpo Karate.
