Upcoming Events

Welcome to the Olathe Karate Academy ... a traditional, Okinawan Kenpo school. At the Olathe Karate Academy, we believe that Martial Arts can be a great activity for the entire family. Not only do we teach solid, fundamental self-defense, but our academy focuses on core values and principles needed to succeed in every aspect of life…especially valuable benefits for our children and teenagers as they struggle with the modern pressures of our society. Best of all, we are a NO CONTRACT martial arts school…hard to find these days! Jamie and Ashleigh Palmer

Our system is strongly grounded in the traditional forms (kata) and fundamentals of Okinawan Kenpo, Hawaiin Kenpo, Jujitsu ; Aikido (grappling), Kobudo (weapons) ; Arnis (stick fighting). MOST IMPORTANTLY we emphasize techniques that work in the real world. The flying, spinning, double dragon kick that knocks away the machine gun from 2 different bank robbers looks great in the movies ... but the average person needs techniques that will actually work. Olathe Karate Academy will teach you those practical, real world techniques. We as an organization are dedicated to maintaining three key aspects of the Martial Arts:

Quality - The Olathe Karate Academy strives to provide consistent, quality martial arts instruction for every student. Having almost 25 years of martial arts training, 4th degree black belt Sensei Jamie Palmer leads the school with highly knowledgeable and skilled instruction.

Tradition - The Olathe Karate Academy is affiliated with the United States Kenpo Kobujitsu Federation, an organization that has been teaching martial arts and self-defense for over 35 years. Under the direction of 9th degree black belt Hanshi Dan Kennedy, the USKK is one of the few traditional martial arts organizations in the Kansas City area.

Excellence - The Olathe Karate Academy maintains an attitude of excellence in all aspects of the organization. From office procedures, to quality instruction, to a clean and sanitary facility, we strive to make sure that every aspect of the dojo is above and beyond normal standards.
