Memberships at our facility range from $85-$145 per month depending on the program and the term. Come by and see us so we can help you reach your goals with the most affordable program option that meets your goals and stays within your budget.

The school is large enough to have separate age and level specific classes, yet small enough to give each student personal attention.  With 4 different ages of children’s classes at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels so students are always in a class with others at their same age and level.  Beginning students can be in ‘Tiny Tigers’ (4-5 year olds), ‘Little Ninjas’ (6-7 year olds), ‘Kool Kids’ (8-12 year olds) or ‘Kenpo Teens (13-16 year olds) and of course we have great Adult Classes as well.

Chief Instructor Barry Barker is an 8th Degree Black Belt and a Licensed Acupuncturist with almost 40 years in the martial arts, his wife Rosie Barker is a 5th Degree Black Belt with over 30 years in the martial arts. Every class is run by no less than 2 Black Belt Instructors and sometimes more. The school’s professional staff of 10 Black Belt Instructors have all been students of Poway Kenpo Karate for from 10 to 20 years each and range from 1st to 6th Degree Black Belts. The level of instruction at Poway Kenpo Karate is unmatched in the area and it’s a very nice school with nice, polite people at every level.

Our facility has ongoing self-defense classes for those who might be interested but this free program is the minimum amount of training that every female should have.

“ My daughter Sarah & I attended your free women’s self-defense class this last Saturday and we just really wanted to thank you and your staff for this amazing service you are giving to the women in San Diego! Wow! We really learned a lot and left empowered and invigorated! We’ve let all our closest friends know about these classes you are offering! May God Bless You abundantly as you so thoughtfully share your knowledge! “

Sincerely, Karen Doyle

“ This weekend I attended the Self Defense Class you gave on Sunday. I learned so much and went away feeling empowered to fight off an attacker. I wanted to thank you for offering this free class to all of the women in our community. We had a good time, met a lot of great people, and felt grateful to you and your staff for offering their time on Sunday to teach us how to defend ourselves.”
