Our Adult Program

Life can become a routine for us as adults. However, each and every belt rank you achieve will give you the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that you haven't felt in years. In addition, West Coast Martial Arts Academy also offers you weapons training once you have reached a certain proficiency level in the movements of Kempo Jiu Jitsu Karate.

Regardless of whether you can dedicate one, two or several times per week to your training, West Coast Martial Arts Academy's professional martial arts instructors are trained and qualified to make the most of your martial arts experience.

We are confident that you will enjoy being a martial artist with West Coast Martial Arts Academy.

West Coast Martial Arts Academy is very proud of our adult program. After many years of training adults in the martial art styles of Hawaiian Kempo and Shaolin Kung Fu we have learned that adults are interested in three areas: health, self -defense, and a form of mental relaxation. We have also learned that adults like to be mentally stimulated rather than challenged. We live with enough mental challenges every day. We also offer a corporate discount package for businesses.

Hawaiian Kempo Jiu Jitsu System
(also called Kajukenbo)

Hawaiian Kempo Jiu Jitsu is a combination of several martial arts: the Chinese self defense system called Chuan-Fa (way of the fist); the Kung Fu fighting movements of the famous five animal styles: tiger, dragon, snake, leopard, and crane;
the art of Kyusho-Jitsu (striking vital points) which uses pressure points for manipulation; Karate (Tang Soo Do);
Judo (Se Keino Ryu) and Jiu jitsu (Kodenkan Danza Ryu);
Kenpo or Kempo (Kosho Ryu), and Chinese Boxing.

West Coast Martial Arts Academy utilizes the name Hawaiian Kempo Jiu Jitsu, which denotes Hawaii: Where the art became popular. Kenpo/Kempo: The back bone of the system. Jiu jitsu: Locking and release maneuvers.

We use the Japanese white through black belt ranking system.

Shaolin Kung Fu (Gung Fu)

What is Shaolin? Shaolin is a Chinese word which means small wooded forest.

What is Gung Fu or Kung Fu? Both terms are interchangeable and mean “great skill.” however, the more accepted term in China is "Wu Shu". The character "Wu" represents the lance that stops a hostile attack and allows people to prosper. "Shu" is the Chinese character for skill, knowledge and path; therefore, taken together these characters explain the philosophy of Kung Fu.

Shaolin Kung Fu is a form of Chinese marital arts or technical skill created many centuries ago by the sacred order of Buddhist warrior monks at the Shaolin Temple. More than a tool for self defense, Shaolin Kung Fu is an exercise in physical discipline and control. Today, Shaolin Kung Fu is recognized as a relaxing technique for developing body tone and mental control. It is also a useful, efficient, and highly effective weapon in the art of absolute self-protection.

Kung Fu movements are circular, which is natural movement for one's body.Circular movements promote good circulation, and circulation is essential to a healthy body. Flexibility training is also an important factor in maintaining good circulation, and is an area of focus in Kung Fu.

Both of these practices lead to a healthy body through the cleansing action of good blood circulation. The set practice of Kung Fu movements is designed to also increase eye, hand, and motor coordination for the entire body. The exercises performed in these sets will also increase one's speed, agility, and strength. Perhaps the most important aspect of Kung Fu training, for many people, is simply self defense.

West Coast Martial Arts Academy offers one of the most street effective self defense systems that one can study without fear of getting injured. Because of the effectiveness of the Shaolin Kung Fu system, one can accurately defend oneself from any type of grab, punch, kick, or weapons attack.
