IS THIS FOR YOU?

For teens and adults interested in martial arts technique and self-defense training, including complete beginners and students returning after time away.

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

Know what you’re
coming to learn.

01

A technical foundation

Practice stances, strikes, blocks, and footwork with attention to how the movements connect.

02

Control and application

Work on timing, coordination, and applying techniques through coached practice.

03

A path for progress

Develop your fundamentals, revisit the details, and take on new material as you learn.

UNDERSTAND THE TRAINING

More than a collection
of techniques.

Kenpo connects strikes, blocks, and footwork. Practice focuses on how your balance, distance, and timing influence each movement—and how those movements fit together.

01 / FOUNDATION

Stance, balance & footwork

Learn to move with a stable base, change direction, and manage distance. These fundamentals support everything that follows.

02 / TECHNIQUE

Strikes, kicks & blocks

Practice individual movements with attention to position, alignment, and control before combining them.

03 / CONNECTION

Combinations & sequences

Work on connecting movements smoothly. Learn why a technique is used and how position affects the next action.

04 / COORDINATION

Forms & movement patterns

Use structured patterns to practice coordination, remember sequences, and refine the details of your technique.

05 / APPLICATION

Coached partner practice

Explore timing, distance, and controlled responses with a partner. Ask the instructor how partner work fits your experience level.

06 / PROGRESS

Skills you can build on

Revisit the basics while learning new material. Progress comes from consistent practice and instructor feedback, rather than a promised belt deadline.

Self-defense starts before physical contact.

Awareness, boundaries, creating distance, and leaving a situation matter alongside physical practice. Training develops skills; it does not guarantee safety in a real confrontation.

Comfortable workout clothes. Water. Your questions.

Ask the team: (210) 891-9351
Can I start as an adult with no experience?

Yes. Tell us about your experience and goals when you book. Your introductory assessment helps the instructor recommend a starting class.

How is Kenpo different from kickboxing?

Kenpo is the martial arts pathway, emphasizing a broader technical curriculum and self-defense practice. Kickboxing focuses on striking skills and conditioning. Try the introduction and talk with the team about your goals.

How quickly will I move through the belts?

Ask the instructor about Legacy’s curriculum and testing requirements. Progress depends on your practice and readiness; there is no fixed promotion date promised with enrollment.

What should I know about partner training?

Discuss your experience, comfort level, and any training limitations with the instructor. Ask which partner drills are appropriate for your starting class and what protective equipment is needed.

What does membership cost?

Request current pricing for this program, including class frequency, equipment costs, and membership terms. The free introductory assessment lets you experience the training before choosing a membership.
