Philosophy:

KKE is a Martial Arts school educating students in the ways of American Kenpo ,Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Eskrima and Kickboxing. By sharing our combined knowledge of the arts, the students develop greater self-confidence, higher self-esteem, and controlled, effective self-defense. Emphasizing courtesy and good sportsmanship, students grow in a disciplined environment at their own pace and skill level. First, students learn to develop the strength, coordination, and agility essential in executing self-defense movements. Then, as the students advance, the instruction focuses on mental development which is vital to the students in learning to control their knowledge.

KKE teaches students the discipline and self-confidence that enables them to ignore threats of aggression which to lead to physical confrontation. Yet, when given no choice, students are more than capable of defending themselves.
