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.

Next grocery trip, give your child a challenge: pick ONE fruit or vegetable they’ve never tried before.

They might discover a new favorite… or make a face you’ll never forget. 😄

What do you think your child would choose?

🌟 KENSHOKAN STUDENT SPOTLIGHT — AUBREY S. 🌟

Not every accomplishment in martial arts can be measured by the color of a belt.

That said, we’re incredibly proud of Aubrey S. for recently earning her purple belt! 🥋💜

But what makes us especially proud is everything happening alongside that achievement.

Aubrey has become a wonderful assistant coach, volunteering at our events and stepping onto the mat to help with classes and younger students. She’s learning that being a martial artist isn’t only about developing your own skills—it’s also about using those skills to help others.

And her growth doesn’t stop at the dojo. ⚽ Aubrey is becoming an accomplished soccer player and continues to grow as an athlete both on and off the mat.

Martial artist. Athlete. Assistant. Young leader.

Aubrey, we’re incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished and, even more importantly, the young person you’re becoming.

We can’t wait to see where the journey takes you next. Keep going! 👏❤️

Grab a few simple supplies and create your own family field day!

Sack races, hula hoops, beanbag toss, or even a good old-fashioned sprint to the finish line.

Which event would your child want to compete in first?

📜 **Constitution Day — Martial Arts, Character & Citizenship 🇺🇸**

Today, as we recognize Constitution Day, we’re reminded that citizenship is about more than the rights we enjoy. It also carries responsibilities to our neighbors, our communities, and one another.

That idea has deep roots in the martial arts we practice at **Kenshokan**.

In his *Esoteric Principles*, Danzan Ryu founder **Professor Henry Seishiro Okazaki** taught that a martial artist should be grateful for the protections of citizenship while guarding against self-interest and developing **“a spirit of social service.”**

He encouraged his students to value courage while also cultivating gentleness, modesty, courtesy, resourcefulness, and moderation.

Nearly a century later, those words still speak powerfully to what we hope to teach our students.

🥋 **Be strong—but use that strength in service of others.**
🇺🇸 **Value your rights—and understand your responsibilities.**
❤️ **Develop yourself—and use what you become to strengthen your community.**

At Kenshokan, we believe martial arts should develop more than capable martial artists. It should help develop **people of character and good citizens.**

That is a tradition worth passing on.

**Happy Constitution Day from Kenshokan. **

Hand your child the camera for a few minutes and see the world from their perspective. 📸

You might end up with pictures of the dog, their shoes, a cool bug…and maybe a few surprisingly great photos.

What do you think your child would photograph first?

**One of the hardest parts of parenting is knowing when to let them struggle a little. ❤️**

As kids grow, they naturally want to do more on their own.

Sometimes they’ll succeed.
Sometimes they’ll stumble.
And sometimes every instinct in us wants to step in and make it easier.

But there’s something powerful that happens when a child faces a challenge, works through the frustration, and eventually realizes:

**“I figured it out.”** 💪

At Kenshokan, we try to give kids a safe place to experience exactly that.

We’re there to teach, guide, encourage, and keep them safe—but we also give them opportunities to **work through challenges and earn their successes.** 🥋

Because every time a child discovers *“I can handle this,”* they build a little more confidence in themselves.

And that confidence travels far beyond the mat.
