Pallen’s Martial Arts began in Oakland, California in 1968. As we celebrate over 50 years of martial arts excellence, we look back and see a karate school which started with traditional Kenpo.

In the 70’s, we expanded to Kajukenbo, which incorporates traditional karate, judo, kenpo and Chinese boxing (kung fu). Kajukenbo is a balanced martial art using both hand and foot techniques, mat work (including throws, rolls, and falls), traditional forms, as well as the art of self-defense through punching attack and grab art defenses.

In the 80’s, we added the Philippine Martial Art in our curriculum, which the Pallen’s are one of the first martial arts schools to practice in the United States. In the 90’s, Tae Kwon Do was incorporated within our system, which enhanced our flexibility and usage of our legs.

We expand our style continuously, molding the martial arts in our own unique way. Pallen’s’ has provided championship fighters and martial arts excellence for decades, and we don’t intend to stop. As we continue to strive together and thrive together.
