Chamberlain Studios of Self Defense

My three boys (currently 7,7, and 9 years old) have been training at Chamberlain Studios in their Kenpo Karate program for the past two years. the kid’s program is wonderful! Professor Chamberlain, Shihan Rollend Nery and Sensi Chris Valentine are all great with children. They balance the discipline and rigor of the program with just enough fun to keep the kids engaged and eager to learn. The fact that Dr. Chamberlain and Rollend, with their combined lifetimes of study, are willing to still spend large amounts of their time with children this young and inexperienced speaks volumes to their dedication to the discipline and to the children. All of the other instructors (all black belts) are great and contribute to a wonderful setting for kids to not only learn the art of Kenpo, but also discipline, respect, self confidence and a sense of self. Perhaps the most telling comment I can make is that my boys, who are very different in personality and temperament, all are eager to go to the dojo 3 times a week and show no sign of losing interest in their training.
Shortly after enrolling the boys and seeing a couple of the adult classes, my wife and I also enrolled. All I can say is that it’s been great — for our family, my health, and our enjoyment. I was hesitant to start training at my age but the instructors and advanced students made us feel very welcome and continually encourage us. My wife attends a combination of Kenpo classes and the CrossFight fitness class while I attend the Kenpo classes. Both the Kenpo and the CrossFight classes are challenging and a great workout that I would not be hesitant to recommend.
If anyone is interest in training, for themselves as an adult or for their children — go talk to Professor Chamberlain personally — you won’t be sorry. My only regret is that I didn’t discover this and get started 20 years ago…

I first discovered Chamberlain Studios while riding my bike in Lakewood.
Since I had always been interested in the Martial Arts (and in need of exercise), I decided to check it out and take a few of their introductory classes for adults. I enrolled shortly thereafter. For unlimited classes, the pricing is very reasonable for kids and adults alike.
The instructors are experienced, patient and supportive. All qualities necessary for teaching students of all ages.
There are classes in Kenpo Karate, Brazilian Jiu-​Jitsu, and Adult Fitness at this location, with additional opportunities for study at the other dojo.
Don’t be afraid to check it out.

Chamberlain Studios of Self Defense has been a God send for my family. As a single Mother I was looking for strong role models for my 5 year old son. I found that and so much more at Chamberlain’s. Not only does he have a wonderful workout and is learning respect and self control the care and concern for him if unbelievable. I have seen a huge difference in my son at school since we started classes last year. Dr Chamberlain and his staff teach both children and adults. i have taken a self defense class there that made me feel enpowered as a single women. We also have taken advantage of their summer camps and monthly Parents Night Out, both of which are fantastic!
