Reviews of Epperson Brothers Kenpo Karate

I been Sensei Chuck for over 15 and he is the only kenpo karate

Instructor that I know of who has the greats teaching knowledge

In kenpo and escrima. Thanks Chris

Sensei Chuck Epperson is a very knowledgeable instructor with a deep passion for the arts. His knowledge of Kenpo Karate, Boxing, Kickboxing, and Philippino weapons and empty hand combat is only surpassed by his delight in teaching and sharing his knowledge whole heatedly with his students. He has been a powerful mentor to me and other members of our martial arts family. I feel blessed for having the privilege of training in the Dojo for so many years.

If you are looking to study and learn the Martial Arts, this is a great school to learn from!

STUDENT TESTIMONIAL: Chuck Epperson is so incredibly talented. More than that he is a kind and wise human being. He actually cares deeply for his students and constantly leads them toward truth exercising not just their bodies but integrating their minds. This extends not just to the martial arts but to life. I carry with me his gentle reminder, "A black belt is a white belt that doesn't quit. " I find comfort in that. It reminds me to persevere in all areas of my life. It is nothing short of amazing to witness him perform with so much precision and power. Even more rare and important he is able to impart that wisdom and technique to his students as the result of precise deep understandings giving gentle correction teaching patience and perseverance. He has spent a lifetime pursuing this knowledge and experience and is the best martial arts instructor and practitioner I've encountered. It is beautiful to see that acknowledged by such an exclusive membership induction. I believe everyone that has witnessed him teach will agree that he is worthy of this honor being among the very best. By Michael Abouzeid

“Our son, Ian, has been taking lessons from Sensei Chuck Epperson since the age of 4. He is now almost 14. Our other son also took lessons since that age until he decided to dedicate full time to baseball. Chuck Epperson has made an indelible and profound impact on both of our sons’ lives.

Sensei Chuck is the real deal, and we have never met anyone like him. His dedication to his craft, and to his students is unparalleled. He is intensely determined to create the most prepared and self reliant martial arts student possible. Our sons have been able to defend themselves against bullies, without causing harm or ill feelings in the process.

Their knowledge of martial arts, and the concept of deflecting negative energy rather than causing it, has earned our son tremendous respect amongst their peers. We credit Sensei Chuck for this wonderful character building trait in both of our sons.

At Epperson Brothers, integrity reigns supreme. Sensei Chuck does not award belts without the student first proving that he or she has truly earned the right to advance a level. Many teachers do award belts much more easily and with less emphasis on student effort, because they can make more money doing so. Money has never been focal point at Epperson Brothers. Chuck truly cares about his students, and about preparing them properly in mastering the amazing skill of martial arts.

You will not find a person like Sensei Chuck. He is old school, and he is a wonderful, caring, honest person, whom we have tremendous respect for. We are very grateful to have him as such a strong male role model in our boys lives, as this is very hard to come by these days. He is strong yet humble. He is truthful, and you always know where you stand with him. He always seems to have the same positive demeanor and if he’s ever in a bad mood, you wouldn’t know it.

This is a wordy commentary, but when you meet Sensei Chuck, you will see why we sing his praises. I wish there were more people in the world like him. His wife, Nanette, is also a gem. I know that our boys will be fine adults, and better men, for having had Sensei Chuck Epperson in their lives, and we are beyond grateful for that.”

Sensei Chuck Epperson is an excellent instructor that gives the highest quality instruction. He uses practical knowledge and decades of experience to deliver easy-to-understand instruction in the practice of Ed Parker's Kenpo Karate. He has classes six days a week and offers great value for the price. There is the highest level of professionalism in the way he runs his dojo. I have trained with this studio for 20 years. I have never been disappointed.
