As of today, we have become a Chinese Kenpo Federation charter school, linking our school lineage to the founder of American kenpo, senior Grand Master Edmond K. Parker.
This opens new doors for our students and instructors to for training, fellowship and to train under a direct student of Ed Parker and earn rank in an organization that ties them directly to the teaching of SGM Ed Parker.
🌟 Welcome to the Family! 🌟
We are thrilled to officially welcome Professor Spencer R. Fusselman and the entire team at Iron Lotus Martial Arts, all of its incredible students and instructors to the Chinese Karate Federation! 🥋
Their commitment to discipline, respect, and excellence aligns beautifully with the Federation’s values of unity, growth, and tradition. Together, we continue to strengthen our martial arts community and uphold the spirit of Karate—where every kick, seminar, and connection leads to mastery and mutual respect.
A three-time Martial Arts Hall of Fame inductee and a 7th-degree black belt, Dr. Spencer R. Fusselman, Shihan, is a master instructor, innovator, and the founder of the Shinja Kenpo Karate system and the Iron Lotus Martial Arts Association. His journey is a testament to a lifetime's pursuit of a single, powerful ideal: the development of the "holistic warrior." This core philosophy, blending rigorous spiritual, mental, and physical discipline, was forged through a remarkable career as a U.S. Army veteran, a pastor, and a dedicated martial artist.
Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Professor Spencer Fusselman and the entire Iron Lotus Martial Arts team! 💪
We look forward to training together, sharing knowledge, and advancing the art with honor.
