From the owner: At Oriental Arts LLC we specialize in a style of martial arts called kempo. Kempo is a blend of…read moreChinese kung fu and Japanese karate. The karate portion of kempo can be classified as a striking art - punches, kicks, elbow strikes and the like. Meanwhile, the kung fu element of kempo emphasizes the redirection of the attacker's strikes and is often noted by its fluid, circular motions. Kempo, the culmination of these two art forms, provides the ideal balance of self defense methods. Additionally, kempo is a great way to enhance both physical and mental fitness.

I've seen him build a level of confidence in my son that makes me so happy I chose this particular studio. So far, my son has made excellent progress. I'm not interested in advancement per se. But FWIW, I don't feel like he's advancing because were paying dues or because he's simply showing up. I feel like he's advancing because he's achieving the goals his instructor sets out for him, and he takes it very seriously. I should say, there's also a certain level of fun built into it as well. Mark has a great sense of humor, and twice now we've taken advantage of Friday night Kids Night Out, where there's a ton of kids, and they have a lot of fun. It's a great mix and I would highly recommend it. I'm puzzled by the 2 negative reviews... I'm not sure they are at all reflective of SSDS. Certainly not the one in Keene. I would dismiss them as irrelevant.
