Barongan Martial Arts Academy

Barongan Kempo has been actively procuring the art of Chinese Kempo Karate in Des Moines since 1973. Professor Bobby Barongan, a native of the Philippine islands and the system's founder has been a student of the martial arts since 1963. Ever since the Barongan Kempo style started, it has evolved. This is the essence of the art. Adaptation and evolution while honoring the achievements of our past instructors. We always welcome new students to join our ranks. We work out twice weekly and ask each student to give their all during that time. No exceptions.
