AIK-Pilch

AIK-Pilch We teach a comprehensive system of modern self-defense and physical fitness.

We offer programs appropriate for martial arts students of all ages and all fitness levels, designed to improve coordination, strength and flexibility. The American Institute of Kenpo is an organization dedicated to the development of character, confidence, physical well-being, and internal peace through the medium of the art of self-defense. We are a professional black belt organization, which means we extend the invitation to each student to realize his or her own goal of achieving black belt excellence. We are committed to maintaining the integrity and legacy of American Kenpo as developed by Senior Grandmaster Ed Parker under the council and direction of Sigung Stephen LaBounty & Ed Parker Jr. We encourage each student to travel the path of self-discovery as he or she internalizes the principles of Kenpo.
