We are not a school or an instructional organization.

We are a group of individuals with various martial arts experience, and we gather to explore the different self-defense solutions to different types of personal attacks. There is no training for competition, because in competition there are rules, but in self-defense there are no rules.

THE STUDENT CREED

I will develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that may impair my mental growth or physical health.

I will develop self discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.

I will use the art of Kenpo constructively and defensively to help myself and my fellow man and never be abusive or offensive.

I will live by the principles of Black Belt, modesty, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit.

Ed Parker

THE KENPO CREED

"I come to you with only Karate, empty hands, I have no weapons,

but should I be forced to defend myself, my principles or my honor,

should it be a matter of life or death, of right or wrong;

then here are my weapons, Karate, my empty hands."

Ed Parker

GRACIE PHILOSOPHY

Efficiency

Efficiency, the ability to achieve maximum output with minimum input, is a core principle

Patience

Patience is often the key to success in a struggle against a larger opponent. Usually, it is not the person who attacks the most, but the one who exhausts the least who will win

Control

The final objective in a fight is to impose your will on your opponent.
