AA Universal Karate Studios

At AA Kenpo Karate, we are committed to teaching the highest quality Martial Arts instruction you can find anywhere. Our mission is to provide the skills needed to help our students succeed in life, including confidence, focus, self-esteem, respect, and physical well-being. We offer a variety of classes for kids and adults, teaching Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate, a Chinese-Based art that is self-defense oriented.

We believe that learning is the key to all of our work, and our teaching is done as if we were working with our own family. We encourage our students to never stop striving and to set and complete goals by teaching through positive reinforcement. As our students advance, they will not only flourish in class and in life, but they will gain the knowledge and experience that will last a lifetime.

Our Services

We offer a range of classes and services designed to help our students reach their full potential. For kids, we have classes tailored to different age groups, including our Little Dragons class for ages 5 and 6, and our Basic Training Club for ages 7 to 12. These classes teach respect, self-discipline, focus, and physical agility, as well as karate basics and self-defense techniques.

For teens and adults, we offer classes that focus on self-defense, physical fitness, and stress relief. Our Martial Arts training is a full-body workout that improves strength, coordination, balance, and cardiovascular fitness. We also offer private lessons and special events, including tournaments and seminars.

Our History

AA Kenpo Karate was founded by Master Alan C. Babinec, who has been involved in the Martial Arts for the past 32 years. Master Alan received his 6th degree rank in Kenpo in November 2019 and has experience in Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, and Weapons Training. He has been teaching children and adults in the Strongsville area since he opened AA Kenpo in 1989.

Our Philosophy

At AA Kenpo Karate, we believe that Martial Arts training is a journey, not a destination. We strive to create a supportive and encouraging environment where our students can grow and develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. We believe that the skills and values learned through Martial Arts training, such as discipline, respect, and self-control, are essential for success in all areas of life.
