Adult Martial Arts
NKS has maintained a solid adult program for 58 years. Most schools can have up to 90% children with few classes for adults, but we offer adult martial arts classes six days a week. Our primary training goal in class is to build skill and confidence along with a calm and focused mind.
Kenpo
Kenpo is a traditional martial arts discipline going back thousands of years. Kenpo has passed through several cultures and nations before emerging as a way of self-defense, self-discipline, and self-knowledge in the United States. Kenpo is a self-defense oriented martial art that anyone can do because it is based on sound principles that transcend physical size or strength.
Joe Lewis Fighting Systems (JLFS)
An eclectic art founded by the legendary, 8-time world champion, Grandmaster Joe Lewis. JLFS is the best of traditional martial arts and modern combat sports and self-defense. JLFS teaches you how to defend yourself against a trained opponent by use of strategy and dynamic movement.
American Bando
Bando is an art of many systems. Under ABA President GM Dr. Maung Gyi, BANDO is the source of Nackord Karate weapons systems, systems of empty hand self-defense, grappling, combat sports competition, meditation, and health.
Dennis Nackord Kickboxing
Kickboxing has been part of Nackord Karate System from the beginning. When the sport was still new, Nackord Karate was producing world title holders.
Join Us At
the Nackord Karate System
There’s a reason why Nackord Karate has maintained a large adult student population for the past 55 years: our students get results. As children’s Karate grows in popularity, most schools have become 90-100% kids, making it even harder for an adult to find a place to learn martial arts.
Decades have passed and NKS continues to attract adult students with a full-time adult martial art program. Our adult classes are staffed by certified Black Belt instructors, most with thirty or more years teaching experience. Our classes are beginner friendly, safe, results-oriented, and challenging. We emphasize physical fitness and skill development, with realistic self-defense training and cutting edge performance principles.
