Since 2001 Kenshokan Martial Arts has existed to promote positive growth in its members and its community. We remain firmly anchored in tradition while embracing and exploring the future of Danzan Ryu Jujitsu. We have helped to empower hundreds of our members through a sincere training experience in a supportive environment. Whether you are the parent of a child who would benefit from an increase in confidence, self control, alertness, and determination, or an adult looking for a life enhancing activity with benefits of fitness, stress reduction, improved mental clarity, and self defense, KSK Martial Arts has a program to fit your needs. We do not charge for belts or rank tests. Students progress at their own pace and are promoted on merit. We focus on sincere training and get real results All the while maintaining a disciplined but not rigid environment. One of the unique facets of "Danzan Ryu Jujitsu" is that it has been taught to young children since its inception. We are not teaching a watered down version of a military art rather we are continuing a tradition of instructing age appropriate self defense and character development. Our school has hosted students of all ages and abilities, from Girl Scouts to members of military and law enforcement. Using a disciplined, but not rigid or militaristic dojo culture we at KSK help prepare children for the changes from home to preschool, grade school to middle school and on to high school and college. Our family friendly atmosphere reinforces values taught in the home. Our physical curriculum uses exercises designed to challenge young students. We divide between strength training with a focus on core conditioning, and agility exercises to help a child’s neuro-muscular development. Our fun, nurturing and age appropriate classes, which include a holistic martial arts and life education system provide the perfect environment for your child to develop "Focus & Discipline, Courtesy & Confidence, Problem Solving Skills, and Social Intelligence". These skills serve as a blue print for success. We partner with families to build strong confident children for a better world. We also offer an After School Martial Arts Program at KSK Martial Arts. Our program provides a safe and warm atmosphere where students can decompress from the school day and complete their homework supervised by our Homework Club Director, Tamara Poretz and her staff. Tamara holds a BA in Liberal Arts and a California Teaching Credential. Students also get a one hour jujitsu workout. Our hope is that by the time the student is picked up, he/she will have had a great workout, finished their homework, and enables you to take your children home to have some quality family time! We offer classes seven days a week. Be our guest for a free trial membership. I recommend a minimum of two classes. New students should wear comfortable clothing suitable for exercise and should be well hydrated. We have water available. My staff and I are happy to answer any questions you might have. Please contact me at 818-347-3656 or via email.

Put out a few ingredients and let everyone build their own fall snack mix!

Pretzels, popcorn, cereal, dried fruit, crackers, everyone gets to make theirs differently.

Sweet and salty come together in this delicious and easy-to-make fall snack mix. It's a wonderful medley of flavors that is all treats with no tricks.

Before you carve that pumpkin, turn it into a little science experiment! 🎃

Have the kids guess how many seeds are inside, whether it will sink or float, and how much it weighs. Then test their predictions!

What would your child guess: does a pumpkin sink or float?

Welcome fall with fun pumpkin science experiments and STEM activities that kids love! Pumpkin volcanoes, catapults, slime, and more hands-on learning for K to 5

25 Years of Kenshokan — Let’s Celebrate on the Mat
As part of Kenshokan 25, our celebration of KSK’s 25th Anniversary, we’re bringing students, instructors, alumni and friends together for an AJJF-sanctioned Danzan Ryu Jujitsu Kata Contest.

We want you to participate.

Whether this is your first kata contest, you’re an experienced competitor, or you haven’t put on a gi in years, this is an opportunity to set a goal, train with purpose, support your partner and demonstrate the very best jujitsu you can perform.

What Is a Kata Contest?
The American Judo and Jujitsu Federation describes Kata Contests as “formal demonstrations of the fundamental techniques of the Danzan Ryu Jujitsu system.”

Kata gives us an opportunity to take techniques we already practice and work toward a higher standard.

It is not simply about knowing what to do. It is about refining how we do it—developing posture, distance, movement, timing, balance, control and precision.

A kata contest gives you and your partner a reason to take those details seriously, train them repeatedly and present your technique at your very best.

That is the challenge: not simply to perform the technique, but to pursue excellence in the technique.

Training Starts Now
The official contest techniques, divisions and rules will be released, and Kenshokan tournament preparation begins immediately.

Find your partner. Learn your techniques. Ask questions. Work with your instructors. Train the details.

We want everyone who participates to walk onto the mat on November 14 knowing that they prepared seriously and gave their very best.

You do not need to be perfect before you decide to compete.

The process of preparing for the contest is part of what will make you better.
