Welcome to the Home Page of the Christian Martial Arts Academy.
We Are located in Louisville Kentucky at
Forest Park Community Church,
2713 Blankenbaker Rd. 40299.
We meet three times a week for 90 minutes of training. We have Class Tuesday, and Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:30pm. We also meet each Saturday morning from 10:00am-12:30pm, except the last Saturday of the month.
The purpose of the Christian Martial Arts Academy is to offer an alternative to secular martial arts schools. We enjoy all the benefits of good heart pumping training and effective self-defense, without any eastern religious truth claims or faith practices.
If you are wishing to study martial arts, but you do not want exposure to non-Christian ideas, or you want to be involved with a new exciting tool for sharing your faith join us at Forest Park Community Church.
At the Christian Martial Arts Academy we offer two programs, Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate, and Kenpo Karate for Christ. Both programs are taught together at all three classes.
American Kenpo Karate as taught by the late Ed Parker, relies on fast combinations of strikes and occasionally some Jujutsu restraints to control an attacker. It is a deliberate and scientific take on modern self-defense, offering a wide variety of effective answers to differing self-defense scenarios.
Kenpo Karate for Christ is an adjusted version of American Kenpo suited especially for ministry. There is a greater emphasis placed on learning to restrain an opponent, and some of the targets are adjusted to be appropriate for a ministry setting.
The biggest difference between American Kenpo and Kenpo Karate for Christ, is that Kenpo Karate for Christ is also a discipline ministry as well as a self-defense system. It is a complete system of self-defense, as well as a thorough means of expressing the Christian worldview.
Kenpo Karate for Christ utilizes Karate and Jujutsu, while integrating the Bible with each lesson. It is un-apologetically Biblical and deliberately evangelical with every class.
The cost to join is only $40 a month for one person, and the whole family can join for $60 a month. For any further questions please call (502)376-5589, or email head instructor Sam Conver at stormshadow330@hotmail.com
We encourage Wisdom through disciplined Bible study and Action through a personal active ministry to the world. The Christian Martial Arts Academy is dedicated to produce Agents that are equipped to protect the Sanctity of Life of everyone, and represent a Community set apart within a lost world.
