Our family has driven 20 miles, twice a week, for over eight years, to study and practice kajukenbo karate under the kind and compassionate guidance of Situ Rick Cropper. He’s one of few seventh degree black belt’s in this precise martial art. Cropper takes this art seriously, trains his students hard, and teaches them this critical life skill in an uncompromising fashion with emphasis on sparring, forms and general mental and physical fitness. We’ve encouraged friends and family to study under him as well. If searching for a martial arts academy, look no further.
