    We live in Bennington and my son has been attending classes here for a couple of years. Our son enjoys the class and Professor Geary as the instructor. My son has learned how to be more patient, confidence has soared, and being more respectful.

    Mi hijo quería probar algo nuevo y diferente al taekwondo. A su edad había avanzado con el taekwondo que no podía y no avanzaría más. Entonces, después de mucha investigación y de buscar un nuevo lugar al que ir, encontramos la escuela Kempo Karate del profesor Geary y mi hijo se enamoró. Enseña a los niños formas de defenderse, desarrollar su confianza y aprender formas de salir de situaciones en las que son intimidados; de esa manera los niños no tienen que sufrir acoso. El precio es razonable y asequible. Le encanta venir a la escuela y no ve la hora de venir a clase cada semana.


    My son wanted to try something new and different from taekwondo. At his age he had advanced with taekwondo that he couldn't and he wouldn't advance further. So after a lot of research and looking for a new place to go, we found Professor Geary's Kempo Karate School and my son fell in love. He teaches kids ways to stand up for themselves, build their confidence, and learn ways to get out of situations where they are bullied; that way kids don't have to be bullied. The price is reasonable and affordable. He loves coming to school and can't wait to come to class every week.

    With so many schools, doing research and a trial class is a must. Meeting with the Head Instructor and students, will insure a good fit. Check the certifications of the Owner/Instructor and what makes him/her qualified. Reading reviews Google, BBB Better business bureau and talking with current students will give insight of the school. If a school doesn’t have many reviews, that should be a red flag. Just think, every time you go into a business, Google will ask you if you want to review it. How long does it take, about 2 minutes? Why I chose my school: Geary’s Shaolin Kempo. With over 40 schools in the area to choose from, I have divided them into categories: franchisees, daycares, and self-defense schools. The average age of a martial arts school is 7-10 years. Many schools have less than 20 reviews, most of them being older than 5 years. What brought me to Geary’s Kempo started very basic. My goal is to achieve a Black Belt and improve my health, knowing that Geary’s Kempo has been in business for 30 years, I know the school would be there. With over 300 reviews this would give me the confidence to commit. After attending a couple of classes, speaking with current students and meeting Prof. Geary. My conclusion; you will learn and progress if you work hard, pay attention, practice and have fun. To teach marital arts, it is not required to have any certification to open or teach at a school. The owner/head instructor has lineage and proof dating back 30 years, with a title of Grand Master / Professor achieving the highest rank of 10th Dan. My decision to attend Geary’s Shaolin Kempo Karate was finalized on the fact that when achieving ranks that there would be no false sense of security. With only 9 students being promoted to black belt in 30 years, a black belt earned would be legitimate and an honor. I have been a student of Professor Geary’s for over 5 years, the most noticeable improvements have been my health, humility and a passion to continuously learn.

    This is a great school where you'll learn practical techniques to defend yourself. Professor Geary is very knowledgeable and makes sure you're comfortable with each technique before teaching you the next one.
