OFFICIAL AUSTRALIAN REPRESENTATIVE
 
(Some areas of our website are currently being enhanced to better serve you. Thank you for you patience.)

Welcome to the Official Website of Kenpo Karate Australasia (KKA), where you will find information, news and views on the Ed. Parker system of Kenpo Karate. Kenpo Karate Australasia is proud to continue the legacy left by Senior Grandmaster Ed Parker, with a commitment to teach with integrity, honesty and within socially acceptable moral, ethical and legal values.

It is an honor and a privilege to be the official Australian representative of the Larry Tatum Kenpo Karate Association (LTKKA) Together, our aim is simply to enhance the quality of life for men and women through the study of Senior Grandmaster Ed Parker’s American Kenpo system.

We believe that studying martial arts is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity. Our goal is to share Kenpo with those who truly want to bring some deeper meaning into their lives. We try to teach people to work freely within the boundaries of their limitations, to learn how to think rather than what to think; to see opportunities rather than obstacles.

Our extensive programs cater for everybody. Our students come from all walks of life - mums and dads; businessmen; military and law enforcement; experienced martial artists from all styles as well people studying martial arts for the very first time.

For children, our exclusive Kenpo 4 Kids character education and life skills program offers a chance to effectively guide children on their journey through to respectful, mature adulthood.

We also bring to our country some of the best and most respected American Kenpo instructors from around the globe to share this art with martial artists from all styles. Our guests have included:-

  • 2006 Senior Professor Graham Lelliott, Fresno USA
  • 2007 Grandmaster Larry Tatum, Pasadena USA
  • 2008 Ed. Parker Jr. Pasadena USA
At Kenpo Karate Australasia you will feel welcomed, valued and respected

 We hope you enjoy our site, thank you for visiting

The fiery heat of the Tiger's year promises to touch everyone's life.
