There are hundreds of different styles of martial arts around the world, and choosing the one to study is very important. Kenpo Karate is not a sport, it is a scientific art where we are learning to protect ourselves in the event of an attack. We are for “REAL”. Kenpo is realistic, and down to earth. Kenpo employs sound logic and scientific theoretical innovations not used in other systems. This is a modern self-defense art, featuring unusually fast hand and foot combinations that are very practical to be learned by ANY person. You DO NOT need to be an athlete or extremely flexible to master the art of Kenpo. Since there are no emphasis on rewarding children for defeating each other in a fight, they do not become combative. Instead, they learn to control their tempers and avoid trouble.

All instructors at the Dragon’s Way School of Kenpo are Drug tested, Child abuse cleared and criminal background checked we want to provide a clean safe environment for everybody to learn in.

Mrs. Smith’s first introduction into the martial arts came in 1991 when she started studying Kung Fu under Mr. M Du Feu on the Island of Jersey. However, in 1993 she changed to Kenpo Karate. Mrs. Smith found it to be more practical, challenging and invigorating.

In 1996 she sustained a knee injury preventing her from training for 6 months. Sadly, in 1999 her father passed away before she earned her Black Belt in 2000 under the Irish Kenpo Karate Federation (IKKF). Mrs. Smith is the first person from the Island of Jersey to obtain the rank of Black Belt under Mr. M Mahon, 9th Degree Black Belt in Kenpo. Some of the other panel members were Mr. S Paget (7th Degree Black Belt in Kenpo), Mr. B Coleman (6th Degree Black Belt in Kenpo), Mr. P Coleman (4th Degree Black Belt in Kenpo), and Mr. D L Smith (3rd Degree Black Belt in Kenpo). She received her 2nd Degree under Mr. D L Smith and Mr. G Lelliott in 2002. In June 2006, she received her 3rd Degree Black Belt under Mr. G. Lelliott, Mr. D. L Smith, Mr. J Henderson, Mr. F Bell & Mr. D Davis. In 2009 she achieved the rank of 4th Degree Black Belt under Mr. G. Lelliott, Mr. L. Wedlake, Mr. I. Johansson, Mr. D. L. Smith, Mr. I Harris & Mr. P. McMurray.

Mrs. Smith has also trained with the same prominent instructors as Mr. Smith. Mrs. Smith continues her training under Associate Master Mr. G Lelliott (8th Degree Black Belt in Kenpo Karate), and Mr. D L Smith (5th Degree Black Belt in Kenpo Karate).

Mrs. Smith moved to the USA with her husband in November 2000 where she co-owns their school. She is a certified Personal Trainer through NASM and she has graduated with honors from California University of Pennsylvania in May 2010 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sports Management.
