Welcoming All Fitness Levels

Our adult students come from every walk of life—some are athletes, and others are just beginning their fitness journey. No matter your level, our adult martial arts classes in Boulder are designed to be accessible, supportive, and exciting. Classes move at a pace everyone can follow, and our experienced instructors keep each session dynamic and engaging.

You’ll leave every class feeling stronger, more energized, and ready to take on the week.

Real Self-Defense That Works

Learn Kempo—the most practical self-defense system for adults today. It’s effective for both men and women and has been proven on the street and in real-life situations. You’ll gain the skills to protect yourself and, just as importantly, the confidence that makes you far less likely to be targeted in the first place.

From situational awareness to striking, blocking, and escapes, our self-defense training for adults prepares you to handle yourself in any situation—whether at a distance or up close.

A Smarter Way to Get Fit

Let’s face it—the gym can get boring. At Boulder Karate, you’ll get an exciting, full-body workout that improves strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance. Our adult martial arts program builds muscle, strengthens joints, and boosts overall athletic performance—all while having a blast.

You'll be sweating, smiling, and improving your health without ever watching the clock.

Reduce Stress, Feel Recharged

Need an outlet? Kicking and striking pads is the ultimate stress relief. Every class is a mental reset. You’ll walk out feeling clear-headed, focused, and recharged. Martial arts training in Boulder is more than just physical—it’s a powerful tool for your overall well-being.

What to Expect as an Adult Student

Most adult students attend once or twice per week. Our Standard Adult Program includes:

• One weekly semi-private lesson (30 minutes of focused, personalized training)

• Unlimited access to all Adult Group Classes

Our semi-private lessons are what set Boulder Karate apart. This format allows us to tailor your training to your specific goals and help you progress faster. Once you enroll, we’ll reach out to schedule your personalized weekly lesson.
