Kenja Martial Arts

ABOUT OUR KARATE SCHOOL

Building upon its foundation in karate, Kenja martial arts is a system where other martial arts styles exert a significant influence, shaping its unique character. While the core traditional techniques and principles of karate remain central, Kenja strategically incorporates elements from diverse disciplines. This infusion might include grappling and submissions inspired by Judo or Jiu-Jitsu, fluid movements and joint manipulation drawn from Aikido, striking techniques that thrive from kickboxing and Taekwondo and even weapon training. This deliberate integration of external influences allows Kenja to offer a more comprehensive and adaptable approach to self-defense and personal development.

Stepping onto the mat at Kenja Martial Arts isn't just about learning kicks and punches; it's the beginning of a journey that empowers you from the inside out. While the benefits of martial arts – enhanced self-defense skills, a boost in confidence, improved flexibility, and a fantastic full-body workout – are widely known and valued, Kenja Martial Arts offers something truly special. What sets this academy apart is the deeply personable approach of its instructor. More than just a teacher, he is a mentor who genuinely cares about each student's progress, not only in martial arts but in life. This dedication extends beyond the dojo, fostering a supportive community and cultivating the leadership potential within each individual, shaping not just skilled martial artists, but leaders for tomorrow.

After building a successful career spanning 27 years, Sensei Tommy Lindsay had established a comfortable life. However, a profound spiritual calling compelled him to share his gifts with the world. Born into poverty, he overcame adversity through relentless hard work and a deep dedication to martial arts. Beginning his training at nine, he immersed himself in karate, Taekwondo, kickboxing, and other disciplines, transforming both physically and mentally. A firm believer in the value of diverse training, Sensei Lindsay contends that no single martial arts style is superior. Instead, he emphasizes the unique strengths and contributions of each.

Confident in his skills and teaching methods, Sensei Lindsay is nonetheless deeply humbled by his commitment to others. He believes that no one cares more about people than he does. Driven by a higher purpose, Sensei Lindsay founded Kenja Martial Arts. His vision extends beyond teaching students; he seeks to cultivate a new generation of martial arts instructors and leaders. By imparting not only technical skills but also the philosophy and values that underpin martial arts, Sensei Lindsay aims to create a ripple effect of positive change within the martial arts community and beyond.
