Programs
Every program has its own class and its own curriculum. Not sure where to start? The 2-week intro lets you try the right one.
Adults & advanced teens
Kajukenbo is America's first mixed martial art, born in Hawaii in 1947 and blending Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Kempo, and Chinese Boxing into one complete self-defense system. Tum Pai is its internal branch, integrating Tai Chi principles of leverage, structure, and flow with Kajukenbo's direct, practical techniques.
At Paramount you learn it from the source: two 8th-degree Professors in the direct line of Senior Grand Master Bob Heuer and Grandmaster Steve Larson. Striking, grappling, joint locks, throws, weapons, and the internal principles that tie it all together.
Adults 16+ · Since 2005
Developed for the Israeli military, Krav Maga is the world's most practical self-defense system: no forms, no sport rules, just what works under pressure. Paramount has taught it since 2005 under Level 4 certified instructors, with Tai Chi body mechanics that make techniques more efficient and less dependent on size or strength.
Classes cover defenses against strikes, chokes, grabs, ground attacks, and weapons, plus conditioning and stress inoculation. No experience necessary.
Kids, teens & adults · Ages 7+
This is the heart of Paramount. Kids, teens, and adults train together in one class built on Hawaiian Kempo: real self-defense, traditional martial arts, and sport karate, combined with the Life Skills program that sets Paramount apart.
Families progress through the belt ranks side by side. Parents get a real workout and real self-defense; kids get role models on the mat; everyone gets a shared goal. Can't train together? Individual kids, teens, and adults are all welcome.
Ages 4–6
Our dedicated program for our youngest students. Little Dragons is its own class with its own curriculum: high-energy, structured, and built around focus, listening, coordination, and confidence. Kids graduate into Family Kempo when they're ready.
Parents: you'll have the most comfortable viewing area of any school in the area. Stay, watch, and see the progress.
