Flathead Kenpo Karate
Our goal at Flathead Kenpo Karate is to develop not only a student’s martial arts skills, but character as well. Their success and resilience in life is just as important to us as their success as a black belt.
We accomplish this through our unique “black and red” stripe system. Black stripes represent self-defense skills (karate, sparring, and jiu jitsu), which are earned through attending classes and testing. Red stripes represent character skills (like discipline, focus, and respect), which are earned through our exclusive character training forms, and daily character lessons in class. Once a student earns 3 black and 3 red stripes on their belt, they are eligible to test for the next belt level.
