Steiner Academy Of Martial Art

Our Academy teaches a system of Martial Arts known as Kempo in Japanese, or Chuan'Fa in Chinese. The Art of Kempo has a long and colorful history that originated in China and encompasses Hawaii, Japan and Okinawa. The word Kempo means Fist Method, or The Way of the Fist. The teachers of ancient China classified three categories of fighting: striking (chuan'fa) grappling (shuai jiao) and joint-locking (qin na) Although Kempo is named for one of these, we teach methods that deal with all three disciplines in order for students to be effective at defending themselves from many kinds of attack.
