Through a lifetime of hard work, Maggie Lanner is both an example and a teacher of what can be accomplished when desire is combined with determination. Born in Brooklyn N.Y after learning about martial arts Life on the Brooklyn streets was not easy for a twelve-year-old girl, but she was determined not to be bullied again.

Martial arts are self-defense techniques developed in various parts of Asia. While martial arts teach students how to fight, an important characteristic of the training involves a spiritual and mental discipline that teaches students a way of thinking about the world.

I look forward to training with you……..

Kenpo Creed

 I come to you with only "Karate"-- empty hands I have no weapons;

but should I be forced to defend myself, my principles or my honor--

should it be a matter of life or death, of right or wrong, then here are

my weapons-- "Karate"-- my empty hands
