Welcome!
Allow us to give you a brief explanation of who we are and the art we study and teach.....
The Chop Shop is located just outside of Louisville Kentucky. Our services are available at our home base in Spencer County Kenucky and at Hillview Jazzercise in Hillview Kentucky. We focus on teaching
Private lessons for group class prices
providing very high quality Martial Arts training for people of all ages and all walks of life. Practical Efective self defense instruction for Men, Women and Youth.
It is a simple fact that no two people learn at the same pace. This is why we focus on private lessons. In a group class setting, there are always others who learn slower or faster and it just isn't possible to achieve the same sort of results in a group class as with private lessons. Group classes are great for practicing material already learned, and for getting a good physical workout, but for actually learning the course material it obviously can be done in a group, but not as efficiently as in a private lesson.. An exception to this can be in a seminar setting, where a smaller amount of easier to digest material is being presented as an introduction to training. Or as a quick help program for giving someone a few tools to help them better protect them self right away. A student who pays close attention really can be more able to defend them self after just one lesson!
Our Instructors have decades of experience. We teach the art of Kenpo, as passed along to us by the good people of the Tracy System of Kenpo. A simple way to describe Kenpo would be that this system incorporates elements of many arts - Karate, Kung Fu, Judo, and Ju Jitsu, for tremendous effectiveness in a self defense system! We also offer Tai Chi for promoting a healthy lfestyle. Tai Chi is a form of excercise thousands of years old and is renowned for its health benefits. Kenpo for self defense, Tai Chi or life! Tai Chi is great for older folks as it is a very effective way to prevent or ease the pain of arthritis and other aches and pains associated wth aging! It will keep your body supple and strong. And it wil just plain make you feel better! It is a very gentle form of excercise and is recomended by most health proffesionals including the famed Mayo Clinic! Get in touch today for a free introductory lesson!

Kenpo gives the student a very large variety of techniques that can be used to defend against various potential attacks. These techniques are easy to learn, understand, and use right away. Each Belt level contains dozens of techniques that can be used to defend against someone trying to grab, choke, hit or kick you. Of course the more you study and practice the more proficient you become, and as with any art, it will take many years to master. But a person can become much more capable of defending them self in a very short time by studying Kenpo. However, most people also become hooked on the other benefits of study as well! In a nutshell, studying Martial Arts will just plain make you feel better. You will become healthier, and most people even feel happier when they study the Martial Arts!.
We are very proud of our association with this art, and we are proud to be able to offer you the opportunity to study with us. Please contact us soon to set up an appointment!
