Take your life, or your child's life
to the highest level... Welcome to the Scottish Kempo Academy (SKA) website! Based in the scenic Highlands of Scotland, we are a friendly, family-orientated,
professional and well
established Self-Defence organisation who take pride in being one of
the finest Martial Arts organisations in the world with schools at
Inverness,
Tain,
Dingwall,
Bonar Bridge,
Alness and
Strathpeffer.
We have
affiliated schools at Fortrose, Culbokie,
North
Kessock, Kiltarlity, Muir of Ord, Avoch
and Conon Bridge with the SOS School of
Self-Defence (SOS), as well as an affiliated Kempo school at
Balintore with the Seaboard Self-Defence (SSD). We are
the largest Self-Defence organisation in the North of Scotland and
have
Lil' Dragons classes for children aged 4 - 7
years-old, and Kempo classes for children aged
8+ years-old, teens and adults. Our programmes are
motivational, educational and inspirational with students receiving
safe, effective and practical defensive tuition whilst reaching
goals and skills they never dreamt that they could achieve!
ADULTS
Many adults feel they are too old or too unfit to start Martial Arts
training. This couldn't be further from the truth! Our adult Kempo
classes are a fantastic way to get fit, stay in shape and have fun
while learning vital street Self-Defence skills.
From the very first Kempo
lesson, adults learn how relatively easy it is to learn. Since the
movements are natural, students begin to formulate Self-Defence
techniques immediately.
In addition, many of
our adult students have attributed success in their personal careers
to the self-discipline and focus gained through their
training.
Our fun, exciting, yet structured and
disciplined Lil' Dragon and Kempo classes teach children how to
focus their attention which improves their ability to learn Kempo
techniques and
defend themselves from a bully.
Learning builds a real sense of accomplishment in children and with
each new accomplishment a child's self-confidence will grow.
Once we
begin to build a child's confidence we are then able to instil the
values of respect, courtesy, honesty and integrity that are the
foundations of the Martial Arts dating back thousands of years.
