About Reyes Martial Arts
We have been teaching quality Martial Arts in the same location since 1973. We specialize in Ed Parker's American Kenpo. Principles of Motion taught by Mr. Parker to Mr. Reyes (First Generation Black Belt) that are realistic and effective. Our system uses every part of the body as weapons. Punches, open hand strikes (palm and fingers), elbows, knees, kicks, take downs & control manipulations.
We teach Principles of Motion to generate maximum power through high-width & depth (back up mass marriage of gravity & torque). We apply checks and angles of disturbance to control opponents' reactions and keep them off balance at all times. We also believe in encouraging our students to use the skills thought in our school like Listening, Respect, Concentration, Honor, Courage, Sportsmanship, Pride and Loyalty to be leaders to excel in Martial Arts and school.
Our students have achieved many State and National Championships. Our classes are tailored to accomplish a total workout, building strong body and mind. We empower our students to have confidence and self esteem that will lead them to succeed in everyday challenges.

I trained with Mr. Reyes over 20 years ago as a teenager, now my son recently started and I couldn’t be happier. His instructors are very knowledgeable and guided by a 10th degree master like Mr. Reyes. My son is very excited and looking forward to every single class.
