American Shaolin Kempo Concepts School of Martial Arts

Coming from the perspective of a middle school teacher, I think American Concepts is a great place for a child to develop self-discipline, their ability to concentrate, and most importantly, their self-esteem. And all of this happens in a very supportive environment. The instructors keep the classes fun and the students moving. American Concepts varies the instructors throughout the week, which allows the students to choose the teaching style that best fits their personality. Does your kid learn best through learning and practicing combinations, kata, and forms? Or would they rather learn through sparring? Whatever the kid's learning style, the instructors keep the students upbeat and the classes safe. The master instructor, Phil Pritchard, is an amazing person to work under. From a technical point of view he's extremely knowledgeable and is able to draw from multiple disciplines. When he's working with his students, he's flexible and able to alter the techniques to accommodate a student who's having troubles with a particular lesson. Just as important, Phil is simple a "good guy". The type of person you want helping to mold your kid.
