    The Method

    How We Do It:
    The Inner Dragon Class

    Every class runs the same five steps, in the same order, every time. Structure is what makes progress feel inevitable instead of accidental.

    01

    Warm Up

    Five minutes to get bodies moving and heads in the room. Nobody trains cold, and nobody stands around waiting for class to start.

    02

    Basics

    Fifteen minutes on the fundamentals — stances, blocks, strikes. Kenpo is built on repetition done correctly, and this is where standards get held.

    03

    Character Development

    Two minutes, every class, on one idea worth taking home: leadership, responsibility, giving back. Small and constant beats a lecture once a year.

    04

    Material

    Twenty minutes on their current rank material — forms, techniques, sparring, weapons, XMA. Everyone works on the thing that is next for them.

    05

    Cool Down & Bow Out

    Stretch, a quick check-in on what improved today, and a bow out. Kids leave knowing exactly what they are working on next time.

    The Three Values We Actually Teach

    1. Leadership & Personal Development
    Be the person others want to follow. Take responsibility when things go wrong, and look for chances to lift the people around you.
    2. Respect & Positive Attitude
    Show respect to instructors, teammates, and yourself — then bring energy that lifts the room. How you carry yourself on the mat is how you carry yourself everywhere else.
    3. Giving Back
    Older students help younger ones, because teaching is how you master anything. It is also how a Thanksgiving food drive ends up feeding 5,000 people over 17 years.

    The Difference

    Not Every School
    Is Built Like This

    Six things you will not find stacked together anywhere else in Southern New Hampshire.

    01

    The only real Traditional Kenpo school here with a true XMA program

    Classical Kenpo curriculum and standards, paired with an actual Extreme Martial Arts program — forms, weapons, tricking. Most schools in Southern NH offer one or the other, watered down.

    02

    Voted best in Southern NH nine years running

    Nine consecutive years of community votes, three Hall of Fame inductions, Small Business of the Year, and hundreds of state and national titles brought back by our competition team.

    03

    35+ years on the mat, taught by the owner

    Shihan Randy Allen holds 7 black belts including 6th Degree in Kenpo, Goju Ryu and Jiu-Jitsu, and has trained with the Bujinkan and the Japanese National Goju Federation. He is still on the floor teaching.

    04

    Trained in how kids actually learn — not just how to kick

    Certifications in Early Childhood Education, DHHS Registered Site Director, Kidsafe Network Child Safety Expert, Lil Iguana Stranger Awareness Instructor, and over 1,000 bully defense and stranger awareness programs delivered.

    05

    We hold the line with warmth

    Eleven years of doing this one way: push kids in a believe-in-you way, hold the standard, and never confuse harshness with high expectations or babying with kindness.

    06

    Programs for every age, under one roof

    Little Dragons at 3, Juniors, Teen and Adult Kenpo, and Fitness Kickboxing — families train together in Hudson instead of driving to three different places.
