Chinese Hawaiian Kenpo Academy
Chinese Hawaiian Kenpo Academy prides itself on its dedication to self-defense for people of all levels. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to push themselves out of their comfort zone at CHKA. The classes are not organized by skill level, so you'll be sparring it out with professionals and amateurs alike. They've also been offering a free(!!) self defense class specifically for women every Thursday for the past 18 years in addition to their daily Kenpo Karate and Kickboxing classes.
