From the reviews

My Family and I have been attending for about 2-3 years now. Believe me, we are not the most athletic family. I love that it's safe, fun, and builds confidence. The difference between other schools is that they build on real combat training. Ground and stand up.

My children get the opportunity to learn new things each time they go to Kenpo: ground work, sparring, fine tuning technique, and increasing self confidence. They have an after school program that helps with homework and might be able pick your child up from their school.

★★★★★ — Michael, Mar 2017

I took my son there this summer for the kenpo 5.0 camp. He absolutely loved it. The potters and there assistant instructors are awesome. I couldn't highly recommend this place enough. If you want to learn martial arts or just up your fitness level, there is something for everyone at all ages.

Your first Karate class at Jeff Speakman Kenpo 5.0 Santa Fe

Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
