Teaching style

Defense-wise Kenpo karate Grafton, Upton, Sutton, Hopkinton, Westborough, Shrewsbury, Millbury, MA Defense-Wise teaches “Ed Parker’s American Kenpo Karate” as part of the school’s curriculum. “Kenpo is a combination of ancient self defense techniques and modern scientific principles, an unending flow of motion, a force which can overwhelm any attacker. Every move creates a specific reaction in your opponent, each reaction leads you to your next move. Every strike is a block, every block is a strike. Each move flows into the next. This logical and sequential flow of action is the essence of Kenpo. To control the power of Kenpo you must first control yourself, train your spirit as you train your body, developing inner strength, balance and harmony as you learn.”
