Our martial arts program provides training in the eclectic art of Kajukenbo. It is a practical and beautiful martial art that combines techniques and training methods of five traditional martial arts systems. The journey offered through the program is one of martial arts, community connection, self exploration, and joy in training.

Happy birthday to our generous, fierce, talented, and kind Head Instructor, Professor Sonya Richardson, our Sifu! We are so lucky to have you as our leader and teacher. 💛🌻
