American Freestyle Kenpo Karate
American Freestyle Kenpo Karate is a rich system of martial arts that incorporates different techniques and methods (primarily on-your-feet training) from all over the world, creating balanced fighters and sharp students. Our lineage stems from Tracy Brother's Kenpo by Al & Jim Tracy. The style branched off and evolved into what it is today by Bruce Hodge and Curtis Futch. Our style prioritizes the most efficient way to handle any given situation. American Freestyle Kenpo Karate is taught at Phoenix Rising by Devin Robinson and her descendant instructors.
