Weapons training

Kenpo Kali brings together Kenpo and the Filipino martial arts background of Sensei Chuck Epperson. Grandmaster Richard ‘HUK’ Planas introduced Chuck to Kali in the 1980s, and Chuck later trained in Cacoy Canete's Doce Pares Eskrima under Grandmaster Anthony Kleeman. His black belts in Eskrima, Eskrido and Pangamot form part of the experience behind this program.

Pay per class

Kenpo Kali is $20 per class, rather than the monthly tuition listed for the dojo's Kenpo karate programs. The class meets on Saturdays from 10:30am to 11:30am. We recommend observing the class you are interested in before signing up; call the dojo if you would like to discuss getting started.

The Saturday Kenpo Kali class welcomes both adults and juniors. It offers students from these two age groups an opportunity to study the dojo's blend of Kenpo and Kali together. Juniors interested in training beyond their regular Kenpo karate classes can also take part in this Saturday program.
