Who Are We
Our mission at Kingi’s Kajukenbo is to empower youth, parents, and entire families through martial arts, personal development, and community action.
A staple in the community since 1981, Kingi’s Kajukenbo has been cultivating empowerment in its students and participants by reaching out through martial arts, education, and mentoring. With our history of training, achievements, knowledge, and wisdom passed down over the years, we have been able to effectively relate that expertise and understanding to students of all ages, skill levels and backgrounds. We aim to provide a safe and comfortable environment for individuals to grow and learn, and an opportunity for people to explore and develop personal goals and success.
At our school, you will learn Forms (Katas), Self-Defense Techniques, Point Sparring (Sport Karate), & Street Fighting. We teach and deal with reality and practicality in our training. We will supply you with the knowledge to defend yourself in virtually any situation and at the same time, provide you the life skills needed to achieve your highest goals. Our students don’t only view us as a martial arts school but as a FAMILY. We look forward to you joining our family soon.
REAL WORLD RESULTS

When I searched for a martial arts studio, I found Kingi’s. Being a Father with small children motivated me to learn to protect them. I watched dozens of their videos and at first it very intimidating. It was intimidating because Kingi’s is the real deal. You don’t go there just to get a belt. You go there to learn to fight. I sucked it up and joined the class and went full steam ahead. But then I noticed this a family run business. On any given day you can see the father, mother, sons, daughters, nieces, nephews and/or friends all teaching lessons. Literally , almost anyone you meet named Kingi has some sort of black belt. The concept of family permeates the environment. As a new father this left a great impression on me. I was especially impressed with the GrandMaster Rick Kingi in that He has ensured that all of his children and everyone in his family is well equipped for battle. Along with the numerous young men who could be out in the streets instead of learning discipline and structure. I hope that I could provide such a legacy for my own family. At Kingi’s I see young men, old men, kids, families, fathers and daughters, mothers and sons all talking classes together. There is a strange sort of bond and friendship that happens when you fight someone, or spar with someone. These are things I did not anticipate when I signed up, but blessed me beyond what I had expected.”“Kingi’s Kaju has blessed me tremendously in more ways than they know.
“Simply the best! A professional, safe, warm, & inviting tradition within the community. Where both children and adults alike are afforded the opportunity to express themselves, through exploration of this beautiful martial art. It’s hard work, no doubt. But with every tear comes a dozen smiles; and with every bump, bruise, & knock down, there’s an entire Ohana (family) to lift you back up!”

“This place is a rare find, truly EXTRAORDINARY for sure and really nothing short of amazing..I walked thru their doors over a year ago in need of help with my two challenging children, lo and behold one year later my daughter is now an A/B student just transferring into honor classes with a teen attitude that is starting to calm, my son is starting to come out of his shell and has improved dramatically in school now getting B’s.

Professor Robert began training the moment he was able to take his first steps. Robert had the privilege to train under his Dad, Mom, Brothers & Sister as well all of the other outstanding black belts along the way.
