At Dracut Kenpo Karate, we believe that all students thrive in a family-type atmosphere. While structure and discipline are an integral part of training, there is also a “club-type” atmosphere where students can feel at home. In addition to Martial Arts training, we offer several events throughout the year in order to help develop and foster friendships both within and outside the school.

Many families at Dracut Kenpo Karate also take advantage of our family discounts, where additional  family members pay a reduced rate.
