Experience
Shaolin Kempo blends Chinese kung fu hand techniques with Japanese karate stance work and Okinawan kobudo influences - distinctive multi-lineage flavor compared to pure karate styles. Younger kids work on basic stance and listening through games; older kids progress through forms, partner work and rank testing with the Villari's national curriculum providing consistent progression.
