2009 Testimonials In only a few months of taking his class I have had great results. Mr. Bugg stresses fundamentals and precision. I have taken many different forms of martial arts and he is one of the best instructors I have encountered. He teaches the class so that all participants fill included. It would be hard to take a class from him and not leave without learning something. I find the class challenging but encouraging. I have not been excited about martial arts in a long time. Taking American Kenpo with Mr. Bugg has renewed my old goal of earning my black belt. ~ Jesse O. After several years of non-training in the martial arts, I decided it was time to get back into the swing of things. I researched several schools in the Houston area, but after talking to Mr. Bugg on the phone regarding his class, I felt this was the way to go. I have been training now for several months, and have enjoyed the entire process. His instruction is friendly and laid back, but at the same time, serious and well structured. If you are seeking a detailed and extremely informative martial art atmosphere, in a small class setting, then this is it. ~ Ron B. fgfffggggggggggggggggggg What Kenpo is about.... Principled motion based on concepts of logic A base structure that makes it easy to learn any other system Self Defense, Self Preservation & Self Development You and your personal development, not rank What Kenpo is NOT about.... Fake paramilitary camo wearing Taking "staged" pictures holding semi automatic weapons History lessons on mystic, esoteric concepts no one can understand Training in impractical weapons that no longer exist Dumbing down applications of combat

4 Common Myths.."Why I can't do/ don't need Karate..." 1) I'm too out of shape to take Karate. This is the most common and least true of all the excuses. It's not like lining up for a marathon where you have to train for months previously before participating. The martial arts are about self development and self improvement. A beach body is not a prerequisite. 2) I would never "fit in"...The list of participants are long and varied. From firefighters and law enforcement officers to admin assistants, IT techs, chef's and teachers of all nationalities and genders. Everyone can have a common interest in protecting themselves without losing who they are. 3) I own a gun/pepper spray or my husband will take care of me. Chance favors the prepared mind. Wouldn't it be good to not have to depend on those uncontrollable external factors that might not be at hand one late night...protect yourself and your family with principles and concepts of motion that don't require you to have been an athlete in high school. 4) I don't believe in violence and could never raise my hand to another. I deeply respect your position, but I also respect your right to protect yourself and your family. What would your family do without you? Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Life gives you the test (which sometimes may be violent and jarring), from there the lessons are taught. See me before you feel like you have too or if you've taken that test and you didn't like your score the first time. It is now time to reclaim yourself. This is real. Kenpo teaches both those attributes that allow one to survive confrontation and avoid it. |

What they don’t tell you… As a martial arts instructor, I appreciate the renewed interest that “mixed martial arts” has brought to martial arts schools in general. An interesting by product that has emerged from this is the advent of attached jujitsu, muay thai or “mixed martial arts” classes that have began to permeate your basic martial arts programs. But what is it that they don’t tell you?
