Lama's Kenpo Karate

Lama’s Kenpo Karate

Lama’s Kenpo Karate is a dedicated martial arts studio located in the heart of San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood. Specializing in American Kenpo, the school provides a disciplined yet supportive environment for students of all ages. The curriculum focuses on practical self-defense techniques, physical fitness, and mental fortitude. Whether you are a beginner looking to build confidence or an experienced martial artist refining your technique, the programs are designed to help you reach your personal best.

Lama’s Kenpo Karate began in a small setting, teaching initially from our family garage on Bocana Street more than 37 years ago. The studio was founded with the goal of sharing the art of Shaolin Kenpo with friends, family, and the community, fostering self-confidence, awareness, and self-defense skills.
