LEVEL 3 Martial Arts Performance offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes for adults and kids in Moorpark. Our Kempo curriculum offers a complete set of self-defense skills. We utilize time-proven martial arts principles such as agility and positioning, distance management, and a variety of striking and non-striking techniques to help protect you when the need arises. Other styles are usually only classical (without practical self-defense application) or tactical (no progressive visual structure for personal development which is necessary for students to remain encouraged and consistent, especially younger ones). Kempo combines both approaches. The LEVEL 3 curriculum offers more than just "fighting" skills. It fosters a champion attitude and mindset that helps improve your overall physical and mental performance.
Kempo translates as “law of the fist" and took root circa 1936 in Hawaii where it began to evolve into the comprehensive system we practice today. Its “always evolve” philosophy is what keeps it open to absorbing the most effective fighting concepts needed to meet modern-day self-defense demands. Kempo is a set of principles, not a style. It’s ultimate goal is to always adapt and include the most relevant techniques needed for modern-day self-defense situations.
Kempo’s movements and principles can be easily recognized in the fighting styles of many legendary Ultimate Fighting Championship title-holders like Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell, George “Rush” St. Pierre and Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida - all great athletes, champions, and martial artists alike. Steven “Wonderboy” Thompson might be today’s most well-known and practical example of how Kempo translates to actual self-defense.
