New karate school opens its doors on South Washington
A new Spokane Kenpo Karate center has opened its doors at 164 S. Washington, suite 200.
Its focus is training in American Kenpo Karate, a style combining elements of Karate, Ju-Jitsu, Judo and Kung Fu for modern day self-defense scenarios.
Bryan Whitaker and Tom Black, both third degree black belts, are the school’s lead instructors.
Whitaker and Black have almost 40 years combined experience in the Kenpo system.
Classes for now are Tuesday and Thursday evenings; instruction for children runs 5-6 p.m.; adult classes run 6-7:30 p.m.
In addition to Whitaker and Black, the school's owners include Colin Conway and Mike Charter.
