Start Training Anytime
Have you ever thought about becoming a "black belt" in Kempo Karate or Mixed Martial Arts? It's not too late! Most of our students are adults and you can start small group classes in
Plano, Texas anytime in a safe, fun environment. No special acrobatic skills or unusual flexibility is required to be good at Kempo Karate and the mixed martial arts of "Kajukembo". Our
training emphasis is on personal self-defense and not sport competition or tournaments. You never know when you will need what "real martial-arts" can teach you and besides the class is
inexpensive and a lot of fun!

The Organization
Kajukembo Mixed Martial-arts Association™ (KMMA) was founded by Michael D. Park,
8th degree master of Kempo Karate and traditional Jujutsu as an expression of his life-long experience in mixed martial arts. He was also promoted to 7th degree "Professor" by Senior
Grandmaster Alii-Don Nahoolewa. His lineage makes him a second and now third generation Ohana member under Sijo-Adriano D. Emperado through the direct teachings of two native Hawaiians in grandmaster
James Kaleohano Roberts Sr. and senior-grandmaster Alii-Don Nahoolewa. SGM Nahoolewa was the first black belt under great-grandmaster Aleju Reyes Sr. and the chairman of the American Kajukembo
Association.
The ever improving KMMA Kajukembo as taught in the Park School is one of the few "kempo karate" organizations world-wide that acknowledges the influence and actively promotes traditional
jujutsu and mixed martial art aspects of our system. The association began with the assistance of great-grandmaster Richard Peralta (now deceased) and continues to evolve under the direct supervision
of senior-grandmaster Alii-Don Nahoolewa.

Plano, Texas Mixed Martial Arts
The "Park School" was first in Plano beginning in 1974 and in continuous operation ever since. The strategically located headquarters in Texas allows for better service to our nationwide
members who in the past have had to travel to the east or west coasts or even Hawaii for advanced instructions and fellowship with their "bruddas" in kempo karate. The association offers
traditional (old school) and innovative new instruction in the original hard style founded in 1947 by Sijo-Adriano D. Emperado. This knowledge has been preserved and passed down through a prestigious
lineage of masters, professors and grandmasters.
