Josiah
Kenpo Karate (JKK) is a studio dedicated to teaching
effective self defense techniques to both children and
adults on the upper east side of Manhattan. In particular,
Josiah Kenpo teaches American Kenpo Karate in the style of
Ed Parker (considered the founder of American Kenpo).
Beyond standard techniques and methods, lessons are shaped
to the abilities and needs of individual students.The
studio itself is located on the upper east side of
Manhattan and intends primarily to serve students in the
same vicinity. Students occasionally move to other locales
but return to the upper east side for continued
training. Established
in 1999, JKK was formed around the ability of head
instructor Melford Josiah Brooks to locate and teach
students in the style of American Kenpo Karate. Mr. Brooks
is currently a second degree black belt in the art and has
been studying, competing, and teaching for over 20
years.
