Welcome!

      Monadnock Kempo Karate, headed by Master Tom McKenney, instructs in Ryukyu Kempo with a primary focus on Pressure-point self-defense.  Classes are held at the Marlborough Community House in Marlborough, New Hampshire, just 5 minutes east of Keene on Route 101.  We are the only program in the area providing instruction in Dillman Method of humane self protection.

     Not only are students exposed to a unique method of training, they also learn in a positive, encouraging, and non-competitive atmosphere.  Although centuries old, this ancient Okinawan martial art provides a paramount method of conditioning the mind, body, and spirit.  Students learn sets of movements and methods that yield great holistic benefits such as:

Reduce stress

Lower blood pressure

Increase flexibility and mobility

Improve balance and posture

Build self-esteem and confidence

Ability to defend oneself

Gain respect for self and others
