Okay fellow Kenpoists we were wondering, does anyone have a bigger front door to their studio than we do (garage doors don't count!)?

Great job everyone this morning with the online "sets and forms" class we had! Normally, on Saturdays we meet outside. For the time being we are going to remain online on Saturdays. Our practice during this time will focus on "sets and forms". Tell your fellow kenpoists!

Great job last night by everyone who attended our Self-defense seminar. Erika and I enjoyed working with you and getting to know some new friends! We hope to see you in some future classes.

Also, a quick congratulations to David Tonner and Jenny McCord who tested for Yellow Belt after the seminar - you both did great. You should be very proud of your hard work. Check out the photos (in our new space in Via Serragli, 58R).

We've had some really fun classes the past two days. Students had to create their own themed self defense form (kata) using self-defense techniques they've learned thus far in their studies. Compliments to all of you! Themes ranged from funny to fierce:

Defense against Punches
Defense against Pushes
Destroy the Mugger
The-Bad-A**-Form-To-Grow-Our-Crew
The Weather Report
and of course:
Strikes to the Groin

For those of you who know our group - any guesses to who came up with the last theme?

10/06/2021

Adults - Class tonight 18:45 in the Park by Porta Romana... come give it a try! Your first class is free! Message us if you have any questions.

About Firenze Kenpo Karate

Hello Facebook Friends! We wanted to take a moment and introduce ourselves to you. I’m Todd Sankovich and my daughter is Erika. We are Black Belts in the Advanced Kenpo Training System and members of the European Kenpo Karate Association. Advanced Kenpo Karate is a self defense art. Maybe more important than self defense, we see karate as a way to teach and promote self discipline, respect, confidence, situational awareness and creativity in our students.

We hope our students will never have to use the physical skills they learn in our classes to defend themselves and in fact, most never do. We expect that the mental skills they learn will be used on a daily basis in every aspect of their lives. Send us a note here through facebook or call/sms/whatsapp Todd at: +39 389 879 9944 to learn more about our adult and junior classes.

Todd and Erika Sankovich are 1st Degree Black Belts in the Advanced Kenpo Training system. They are members of the European Kenpo Karate Association and the American Kenpo Training System. Todd and Erika are direct students of 10th Degree Black Belt John Sepulveda. Erika is an experienced instructor and accomplished point sparring & kata champion from the United States. Todd is an experienced instructor and accomplished sparring & kata practitioner.
