Our Junior Assistant Leadership Program is by invitation, and helps students in advanced ranks to become leaders. They do this by training to become a Junior Instructor, and by volunteering as a class assistant at least 1 day a week. To become and stay a leader there are rules inside the studio and out. Maintaining a grade point average of B or above is one. Learn more about this program HERE. If you have been invited to apply, click HERE.

All students must be in proper uniform for every class. There are no exceptions. If student is not in uniform it will be noted and points will be deducted at belt testing. Your uniform is a show of respect to yourself, your instructor and your classmates.   

We require every student to have a Cummings Martial Arts or Mike Carr Karate T-shirt and Black Kenpo Karate Pants. At this time, the karate pants can only be ordered as a set that comes with a Gi. Although the Gi does not have to be worn in class it is encouraged to be worn at belt testing, belt ceremony and tournament or other special events. New students do not need to order a belt. We provide belts for you. Only order a belt if you are replacing one that has been lost. See official order form here. 

Kenpo Karate is a form of martial arts that emphasizes rapid hand and coordinated foot strikes. Kenpo techniques cover a range of elements including kicks, sets, blocks, weapons, self-defense techniques and a focused mindset. Each is applied to a different set of circumstances, i.e., frontal assaults, multiple assaults, certain punches and blocks and more.

A kata is a series of small, structured practice routines. Not unlike driving a car, you first learn how to drive, and then apply those skills to navigating and other external criteria. Katas take a specific, approach to these different situations and acts as a set by which to practice. Here are some of our Katas:
