Kinlochbervie Kempo & Iaido Martial Arts

Established in 2017, Kinlochbervie Kempo & Iaido Martial Arts groupl offers Kempo Little Ninjas Classes for Ages 4 - 6 and Junior Kempo Classes for Ages 7 to Teenagers and Adult Kempo Classes.

Our special Little Ninjas System for Children aged 4 -6 years has been devised to focus on building confidence, balance, coordination, concentration and fitness while learning simple but effective self protection skills which prepare them to move on to the Junior Syllabus over time. in our Junior and Adult Kempo classes a comprehensive syllabus is taught consisting of Kicks, Punches, Locking Techniques, Throws, Nerve Point Applications, Sparring, Ground and Grappling work with defences against weapons included to deal with today’s current social climate.  The system and syllabus is flexible to suit each student regardless of ability enabling them to effectively defend themselves against various attacks from single and multiple attackers.

Progression through the Kempo School Syllabus is monitored by the use of a regular grading test for students.  On satisfactory completion of this test students may move up a grade and or coloured belt.  There are set standards for this which with a regular training pattern stands students in good stead to pick up the movements, techniques and attitude required to work through the syllabus and move up grades.

We also offer Adult Classes in the arts of Iaido (Japanese Sword) and Jodo (Wooden Staff) and are linked to Kensei Kai Scotland who are members of the British Kendo Association. All our classes are for everyone from complete beginners to black belts including both Male and Female students.
