Our History:
Concord Karate Studio was opened by Sia Cote, and her husband Jason, in April of 2024, with the goal of helping students become the best version of themselves, by teaching Progressive Kenpo System karate (PKS).
PKS follows the teachings of Mr. Ed Parker, who is known as the father of American Kenpo Karate.
Mr. Parker developed a system that is based on the principles of situational awareness, stability, balance, coordination, power, flow, and timing. Following the natural geometry of the Universal Pattern and mathematics, Mr. Parker’s system teaches us the maximum application of our motion. These concepts and principles can be adapted for students to use based on their current situation. Principles are paramount over sequence. Mr. Parker’s dream was for a worldwide Kenpo Community that looks out for each other. Practitioners stay “one step ahead in the game” and focus on the principles of black belt: modesty, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit.
