Builds Self-Esteem

Confidence comes with achievement.  At your Indianapolis karate school, UKKS, your self-esteem level will get a boost with every new move you master and every belt you earn. Kids who struggle with a low sense of self-worth usually become more confident as time progresses while they’re enrolled in a martial arts class.

Improves Flexibility

The is one of the first areas of change you will notice.  Good flexibility promotes good posture and physical looks and will continue to improve your life physically as you age.

Teaches Goal Setting & Attainment

UKKS system is based on a series of colored belts that signify the student's degree of skill.  When you strive toward a new belt, you learn valuable lessons about setting and reaching goals.

Instills a Sense of Respect

Learning any martial arts requires respect of instructors.  When learning karate, students will learn lessons in respect along with new moves.

Improves Mental Concentration

Students will learn to relax and concentrate deeply and more fully for greater lengths of time.

Improves Balance & Coordination

Instinct, agility, and speed will all improve.  This benefit will carry over into other activities of life.

Fosters Self-Discipline

Students at UKKS learn self-restraint and discipline instead of instant gratification.  Martial arts continually reminds students of the importance of self-discipline.

Encourages Non-Violent Conflict Resolution

UKKS, a premier Indianapolis karate school, teaches students how to defend themselves in the event that they cannot avoid an altercation, but always stresses using peaceful, non-violent means when possible.

    Upcoming Tournament

    UKKS will be attending the First Strike Tournament on February 15, 2015 at the Best Western Chicago in Hillside, IL.  We have attended this tournament for several years.  This tournament is generally well attended by many schools in the area and has a lot of competition in the beginner to intermediate range.  This would make a good competition for a beginner to intermediate belt rank or someone new to competition.

What People Say

  • We have two martial arts schools within 5 minutes of our house but we drive 25 minutes to attend UKKS because they are focused on teaching students and not necessarily what they can afford to pay. My family has been attending for over 4 years and we couldn't be happier.

    Nathan ByrerParent & Student

  • Mr. Mattocks was patient with us and answered all our questions. My son was always picked on by the neighborhood bully and other kids. Mr. Mattocks has helped build my sons confidence and showed him how to deal with the bully. The bully no longer bothers my son. I highly recommend this school.

    Preshus VannParent

  • I met with Master Mattocks to discuss the type of training the school provides. It was a great discussion and I signed up. I have been involved ever since. Master Mattocks was patient with me and answered all of my questions.

    Jason HermannInstructor & Student

  • United Kempo Karate School is a wonderful program. Not only are the children learning Karate, they are reinforcing the values our children need to be productive and caring people. All of the instructors are dedicated to the program. Most of all, they make coming to the school fun. Mr. Mattocks cares about the total well-being of his students.

    Kelita MorganParent

  • UKKS, Mr. Mattocks and staff have given my child the confidence she was lacking. Not only do they teach my child how to protect herself, but also teach her the self-esteem, confidence, patience and focus she will use throughout life. We love UKKS and staff. They are family.
