American Kenpo Consulting teaches Self Defense tactics and strategies. We do this in part by employing the Theories, Principles, Concepts and Case Studies of Motion found in the art of American Kenpo and through the "Guided Discovery" method of the AMOK curriculum. Our courses and lessons are developed to remind the individual of the knowledge that they already have and by adding to it, prepare for a possible street confrontation.
