Meet Your Instructors

At Nova Defense Systems Kenpo Karate, our instructors come from a wide range of backgrounds — including law enforcement, federal service, medical offices, and community leadership. Each brings unique experience, perspective, and dedication to teaching Kenpo Karate in Canon City.

We believe martial arts is more than physical training. Yes, you’ll build strength, coordination, and confidence — but you’ll also learn practical self-defense skills, personal awareness, and techniques you can use in real life. Our goal is to equip every student with confidence, character, and the ability to handle whatever life brings.

Your Instructors:
Neal • Tammy • Michele • Jennille

More Than Just Martial Arts

At Nova Defense Systems Kenpo Karate, we value character, discipline, and respect — qualities that influence how we train and how we show up in everyday life. These principles are reflected in our Student Creed, which guides our behavior, training mindset, and commitment to personal growth.
