What is Kenpo 5.0?
Kenpo 5.0 is a martial arts style that focuses on self-defence through a teaching syllabus that includes karate, standing mix martial arts, grappling, and weapon skills. Kenpo 5.0 is dynamic as it responds to the changing needs of students and the world while continuing to implement the traditional martial arts values of respect and self-discipline. Learn more here.
We are proud to be part of an international organisation which is led by Jeff Speakman. There are over 50 Kenpo 5.0 schools in 15 countries where our instructors and students continue to learn from and strengthen their skill set. There are also opportunities for students to attend tournaments held overseas hosted by our organisation partners.
We have 3 locations at Western Springs, Mount Albert, and Blockhouse Bay so please get in touch to book in your trial classes.
Adult Classes
Our adult classes teach the Kenpo 5.0 adult syllabus from students in their late teens to those 65+. There are 2x classes a week which run throughout the year, with a small break over Christmas/New Years time. Our timetable can be found here.
Our adult students leave their ego at the door, and we welcome everyone of different ages, capabilities, and martial arts experience. We have small class sizes where all students benefit from the personalised input from head instructor Levon Church. We understand it can be nerve-racking trying something new, or returning to a martial arts class, and encourage everyone to come along for a trial class to check it out for yourself.
All new students will be walked through our basic techniques and fundamental moves. You can see a demonstration of the syllabus and gain a thorough understanding of what you can expect from our school. We provide a friendly and fun environment where adults often come along to classes after watching their children learn martial arts, or children who have trained with us for years and are now adults still with us!
Little Dragons Classes
Kids classes
Our Kids classes are for students aged 8-12 years old. Classes run 2x a week throughout the school term. Kids classes teach both the fundamentals of Kenpo 5.0 and begin to learn some comprehensive martial arts skills. Students in the Kids class will be able to implement a range of self-defence techniques in an environment which is fun and disciplined. As part of grading requirements, Kids are required to complete a 'best list' - a list of tasks to complete at home, school, and in class that allows students to demonstrate their self-development and respect. We understand the different abilities and needs of children at this age and encourage you to get in touch and discuss if your child would benefit from Kenpo 5.0. Our timetable can be found here.
Teens Classes
Head Instructor
My name is Levon Church and I have been training in martial arts since I was 7 years old and am a 4th degree black belt in the Kenpo 5.0 style. I grew up training with my younger brother and parents and was stoked that I could learn in classes and then practice with my family at home. My parents initially helped me set up and run this martial arts school and for the last 20 years I have created a family friendly environment where learning is fun and disciplined.
I am especially proud of our junior instructors who help me to run classes, and teach the next generation of little ninjas! Many of them have been training with me for years and it is an honour to support students become leaders and achieve their junior black belt.
I am passionate about martial arts and teaching and hope to make it fun for everyone!

TESTIMONIALS
My kids have been training at Auckland Kenpo 5.0 since they were 5 years old. They both love the friends they have made and the family trips we take to compete at tournaments. I have had the pleasure of watching my kids grow leadership skills and the comfort of knowing they have the confidence to defend themselves in a world that doesn’t always share the Kenpo values of strength, wisdom and kindness.
