Traditional American Kenpo taught two generations from Ed Parker himself — plus a dedicated adaptive class where every ability trains. Three decades on the mat, and counting.
Incredible group of people. The instructors have been training in the arts for over 30 years and make you feel comfortable. This school also provides an adaptive class for special-needs students which is absolutely phenomenal. Most positive experience I have ever had.
I started adaptive karate a little over a month ago and I love it! I've learned a lot. I got the star block down and I'm really proud of myself. Thank you to Sensei Dave and Sensei Al.
I love the Kenpo / Jiu-Jitsu blend Sensei Dave has put together. He studied directly under one of Mr. Parker's original students — very practical for modern self-defense, and everyone's been really welcoming.
One dojo, four ways in — whether you're a kid taking a first white belt, an adult starting over, or a student who needs the class to meet you where you are.
A dedicated class built for students with special needs — same real curriculum, taught patiently and one step at a time. Reviewers call it "absolutely phenomenal." Few dojos in Rhode Island offer it. West Bay has for years.
The core art — a practical Kenpo / Jiu-Jitsu blend for modern self-defense. Start at any age or experience level; the instructors teach so it makes sense and actually applies.
Focus, respect, and confidence built one belt at a time, in a room where new students feel welcome from day one.
Kenpo fundamentals that work under pressure — step-by-step, no ego, no need to already be in shape. Good cardio comes with it.
Rank and technique passed down the real way, only a couple of generations from the founder of American Kenpo.
Sensei Dave studied directly under SGM Sullivan — one of Ed Parker's original students. Mr. Parker founded American Kenpo. Train here and you're learning the system only a couple of generations removed from the man himself.
That's not a marketing line. It's a lineage — and it's why the depth of knowledge on this mat surprises people who've trained elsewhere for years.
West Bay runs on a traditional evening class schedule for youth and adults, with the adaptive class set to its own time. Days and times are set by belt level and season.
Call for this week's timesThe fastest way in is a quick call — Sensei Dave will tell you exactly when to come watch or try your first class.
No experience needed and no ego on the mat — just a dojo that's been quietly doing it right for decades. One call gets you in this week.
