Camden Kempo - Grading Results

Who has taken their first grading? Who has got that coveted Black Belt?

In this special Camden Kempo class we shall find out. 

Our classes are more than just workouts—it's a community where you're free to be you. Our classes rock inclusivity, making it the place to gain your self defense skills. A number of club members have done just that and put themselves through the rigorous pace of being assessed. They will have created a set demonstration, recalled numerous techniques and their Japanese names as well as had a free sparing session to show their abilities under pressure. 🌈

Our new but tradition-based martial art never relies on brute strength.  We focus on weak points and use techniques that allow a smaller person to effectively defend themselves against a larger opponent. As part of this, we practice shouting (Ki ai) at an attacker to teach you how to find your voice in any situation. Our practice balances 'hard' strikes (kicks and punches) and 'soft' grappling (escapes, locks, and throws). We also teach restorative massage (seiho) and seated meditation (zazen), to help with mindfulness. All our classes center on respect and cooperation - it's never a competition! 

In today's class we shall celebrate the achievements of our students. 🏳️‍🌈🌝You are very welcome to come and watch.

If you want to try a class all you need is a bottle of water, some comfortable gym clothes, and an open mind. 

See you soon!
