Potomac Kempo

Potomac Kempo Visit our website, www.potomackempo.com, to request a complimentary trial lesson! What is Kempo? We’re glad you asked!

Kempo is a blend of Karate and Kung Fu with roots that go back in history more than 1,500 years to the Shaolin Temple in China. Since then, what we call Shaolin Kempo Karate spread to Japan and then the United States. It’s a thrilling story filled with zealous characters and a level of intrigue that could only come from the world of martial arts. But here at Potomac Kempo, we prefer to leave drama

to the historians. Kempo is a well-rounded Martial Art that trains both the body and the mind to improve the quality of your life! From it you will learn self defense and get in better physical condition, while relieving stress and increasing self discipline. It has many similarities to Taekwondo, Krav Maga, and Tai Chi, with added benefits that you might expect from CrossFit, Yoga or even Pilates.

PK Summer Camp - China wrapped up last week. Our wonderful counselors led the campers on a fantastic adventure! We discovered that the vastness of the country and it’s varied climates make agriculture such an important industry. We experienced what it could be like to hike Mt. Everest or build the Great Wall. We practiced the ancient craft of batik and tried to play the guzheng stringed instrument. We learned how silk is harvested and woven, and the history of the Silk Road trading route. Campers and counselors put their acting skills to use as they took roles as sweatshop factory workers, owners, government officials, and activists…and then again as members of different social classes. Here’s just a small sampling of the many super cool activities. Of course, the days were not complete without some Kung Fu ex*****on and Kempo practice!

The final stop of our cultural exploration is Japan next week!

PK Summer Camp - Philippines was a wonderful experience for campers and counselors alike! We learned how an archipelago is formed, learned about natural disasters, created a vertical mural of the tropical rainforest layers, reenacted a boat race festival, create a snake using newly learned sewing skills, and many many more super cool activities. All while learning the indigenous art of Kali and polishing our Kempo technique.

Our cultural exploration takes us to China next week!
