Epperson Bros Kenpo Karate Dojo

Specialties

When thinking of children and the Martial Arts many mistakenly see visions of youngsters out of control throwing flying side kicks at each other. When in fact the Martial Arts have the opposite impact on children. You will see results almost immediately in self esteem, discipline and confidence. Our goal is to develop children’s confidence, good sportsmanship, fairness to others and positive character. Unlike many schools, Chuck & Nanette Epperson teach all the classes. They have well over twenty five years local teaching experience emphasizing the fun aspects of Karate as a means of achieving these goals.
