Shaolin American Self Defense Academy

We are closed for Labor Day. Enjoy the long weekend and have a wonderful few days off. See you back on the mats on Tuesday!

Looking for an addendum to your kids education? Contact the dojo to take advantage of this amazing offer and join our dojo family! Start your martial arts training today!

Two advanced teens, one goal: making every technique stronger. Through practice, teamwork, and determination, they're building skills that make their self-defense techniques work when they matter most.

Every body learns differently, and every body shows growth in its own way. Whether it was a technique performed, a challenge pushed through, or simply the confidence to step up and give it their all, each student showed just how far they’ve come on their own individual martial arts journey. A job well done by all; Congratulations to everyone on their new ranks!

Had an amazing weekend sharing Kenpo at the IKC 70th Anniversary Friday Night Line Celebration. A huge THANK YOU to Mr. Steve Cooper for including me in the line up this year. You hosted a fantastic event Sir. It was an absolute honor to share Kenpo amongst so many accomplished masters and grandmasters. Each session was filled with so many gold nuggets of knowledge, ideas and information. It was an awesome time! A GINORMOUS CONGRATS to my students who competed. You all rocked and made our dojo proud! Great memories made with old friends and new friends! Look forward to the next time we gather. 🤜🏼🫷🏼🤙🏼

Sensei is breaking down the details of the day's techniques while our students work together. When students love learning, they improve faster and create friendships that last on and off the mats!

This week, some of our students picked up the bo staff for a fun lesson. Practicing with traditional martial arts weapons helps develop skills that carry over into every aspect of training. Bo staff practice builds coordination and body control while reinforcing the same basics that make strong kenpo techniques.

Join us for a little dojo gathering this Saturday, July 18th from 12pm to 3pm. Mr. Angelo Collado and AJ Collado are scheduled to share some Kenpo alongside Mr. Martin! We will meet up at Lawless Brewery for some social time directly after the workshops. All are welcome! 🙏🏼 🤜🏼🫷🏼
