"After their first class they were hooked on kung fu."
Our two sons, Joshua and Matthew, have been training at the Las Vegas Kung Fu Academy for almost a year.
They take the family class and the tumbling and rolling classes regularly, which they really enjoy.
We were interested in enrolling the boys in the school after researching online to find a perfect fit for our family. What we wanted most in a school was one that promoted self-discipline and self-confidence in their students.
We were happy to find a school that focuses on helping people become better from the inside out rather than focusing on rapidly advancing through a belt system for bragging rights.
Matthew started classes with much apprehension since he was having difficulty relating to new people and new situations.
We actually couldn't get him into the Kung Fu studio even though he kept telling us privately that he really wanted to go. With the patience and guidance of Kevin, Renee and the rest of the instructors, Matthew eventually broke through his shyness and is doing great. He's much more talkative now and his self-confidence is very much improved.
Joshua has benefited from improved physical coordination and strength which helps him to be a more well-rounded person.
Both of our boys enjoy coming to class and we definitely feel that the program at the Las Vegas Kung Fu Academy is making a positive impact in our children's lives and will continue to help us lay a solid foundation for their continued development into fine young men.

"This is one decision you'll make that you won't regret. "
The decision to enroll our entire family in the Kung Fu school has been one of the most positive experiences for us all.
On top of watching both our sons grow in character, confidence, discipline, and respect for themselves and others, we've also had the added bonus of sharing a closer bond with them- a facet that is priceless in an age of alienation. In just over a year, we have seen changes in ourselves, which we hope, would last a lifetime.
Besides the ability to defend ourselves should the need arise, we have also noticed a remarkable improvement in our overall fitness and health. And as parents of a child who is recovering from cancer, this has definitely been the most valuable aspect of the program.
Last, but not least, one of the more commendable things about training under Sifu Kevin Kawada and his school is the way he takes a vested interest in each individual's development.
Not once did we feel like just another number. There is always a sense of belonging in a school that truly cares for its members like kin. We would highly recommend this to anyone who is ready to change their quality of life for the better both as individuals and as a family. This is one decision you'll make that you won't regret."

Kids Kung Fu Classes
Of course, you want your child to learn self-defense techniques that are practical and that will work when they are threatened. When your child joins our kids Kung Fu Classes they will learn how to protect themselves and their family should the need arise.
The ability to defend themselves is the bare minimum that they will walk away with when they join our program.
Instead of talking about self-defense I would much rather tell you about all of the other benefits that your child will gain once they start.
Kids Kung Fu Classes Will Give Your Child Confidence
Confidence is gained through having set goals and achieving those goals. When kids learn a new move or form they fell just a little bit more competent.
And remember...
Competence is confidence. When you feel that you are very good at something your belief gives you confidence that builds on itself. We believe confidence is one of the most important benefits of martial arts training. Our martial arts program has confidence-building drills in every class
Kids Kung Fu Classes Will Teach Your Child How To Be Self-Disciplined
Our martial arts program shows children how to be self-disciplined.
You see...
Our philosophy is that self-discipline is VERY different than discipline.
Discipline for us, is when someone scolds or nags kids into doing what they want. We teach kids that a good martial artist is always self-disciplined.
Being self-disciplined means doing something without being told to do it.
Confidence
Your Child Will Be More Respectful
There are 4 different forms of respect that your child will practice. The first and foremost is having respect for their parents (You). The way we relate it to your child is that "it's not what you say but rather how you say it. Tone, body language and content of their response should be respectful,
Secondly, there is respect for their friends. The rule here is "treat Other The Way You Want To Be Treated" Always think about how the other person feels (Empathy).
Third, there is respect for the instructors at the Kung Fu Academy. At the start of every class, all students bow in to begin. The meaning of the bow is that "I Will Try My Best" Anything less than that would be disrespectful to the instructor because they are trying their best to teach. Your child will learn that they always have to try their best to learn.
Fourthly, there is respect for your opponent. When your child partners with another student, they start their training with a bow. The bow is a symbol of deep respect and shows that they are ready to focus on the training drill.
Your Child Will Learn Real Self Defense
But make no mistake about it,
Our program teaches children essential self-defense skills. We teach children practical, proven self-defense methods that do not rely on individual techniques but rather on principles.
Let's face it, ¦ teaching children, fighting techniques can be dangerous IF they are not taught the proper use of the power they have. We teach kids that self-defense is just that, defensive. It is only to be used when you are in danger of getting hurt.
We ensure that children will not go home and use it on a sibling or classmate at school.

About Us
Here's the story:
I started training in martial arts as a teenager. At that time in my life, I was getting into a LOT of trouble. I was hanging out with the wrong crowd.
But wait, it didn't stop there...
Unfortunately, I was staying out late without calling. Basically, I was a juvenile delinquent. In truth, I was my parent's worst nightmare come true.
Astonishing, isn't it?
Suffice to say I owe my parents a BIG apology!
Anyway, at this time, I wasn't actively looking for the benefits that the martial arts had to offer.
Honestly, I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world to be able to actually learn this stuff. However, it was only after a few months of training that I became aware of all of the benefits that training in martial arts had to offer.
My name is Kevin Kawada and my wife’s name is Renee Kawada. Martial arts training had a remarkable positive impact on my life.
Because of this, we decided to open our own martial arts school in March of 2004. At that time we made a promise to improve the lives of all our students. Truly, we want you to experience the life-transforming experience that is martial arts.
Please come in and see our school in person! We would love to have you as our next student!

"All four of my kids are excited and look forward to going to martial arts."
Dear instructors Kevin and Renee,
Since we enrolled our entire family in your martial arts school it has changed our lives. Specifically, it has taught each and every one of us to be more confident and not just disciplined but self-disciplined. Every week, all four of my kids are excited and look forward to going to martial arts.
Your family plan enabled us to try something for the entire family at an affordable price. Due to this reason, it allowed me to try something I never would have. Through joining martial arts at your school we have learned that martial arts are about so much more than just learning to protect yourself.
Lastly, it is a life long journey that strengthens your mind as well as your body. Whenever I have the opportunity, I tell everyone I know about your school and highly recommend it. I want to thank you, instructors, Kevin and Renee for providing a friendly, welcome atmosphere that makes us want to keep coming and for teaching my family martial arts!

"I think it is just the right amount of discipline the kids need. "
I'm a parent of two boys ages 7 and 10 who go to the kids class. They have been attending for six months now and the experience has been everything I hoped for going in.
Instructor Isaac has an amazing way of teaching without coddling or being too harsh. I think it is just the right amount of discipline the kids need.
All of the instructors are encouraging and enthusiastic about teaching the kids. It's perfectly clear this is not just a job for them,
I also like that they go over character development in every class. They are able to get the kids to learn about concepts like integrity and gratitude without making it too complicated. They call these messages "mat chats"
Both of my boys are having so much fun while learning all of this, too! The atmosphere is wonderful. I love this place! 🙂
