TESTIMONIALS
From KPA Members
I have had 6 knee surgeries, and 10 other surgeries due to injuries I have had over the years. When I met Kevin and Jackie I was taking Shotokan Karate with my youngest son, and while I enjoyed the classes, my injuries made doing the forms and strikes properly very painful. Sometimes the pain from training would be so bad that I would lay awake at night and just hurt. Jackie talked me into giving Presas Arnis a try and I immediately liked it. Unlike other styles I could mold Arnis to fit me and the way my body moves. I now have a low blue belt in Presas Arnis and I have also become one of Kevin's highest ranked PAC students as a level 4 and I'm working on my level 5 currently. In short if you're an adult, and you want to learn an effective martial art that isn't going punish your body, this is it! Enjoy the art, or pull out the combatives so that you can protect your family- it's all there. Make the decision to try Arnis and you won't be disappointed!
