Kaimuki Public Library is presenting a FREE Kempo Self-Defense Demonstration on Sunday, June 10th at 2:00 p.m. Kempo is a practical form of self-defense developed in Hawaii that uses the most effective techniques of several different Japanese and Chinese martial arts. Learning self-defense is important, not only for personal safety, but also for helping students develop self-confidence, discipline, and respect for others. If there are parents among your members who want their kids to learn something useful and positive during the summer, please pass this information along to them.

This program is presented in conjunction with the Library's Summer Reading Program . It is important for children and teens to get active and interested during the summer. It has been shown that students who read more during the summer, are better prepared for school in the fall. Developing the habit of reading for pleasure can have one of the biggest and most positive impacts on a child's life. Please visit the library and take advantage of books, music, Internet access, and all the other free resources the library has to offer. Your visits to the library help ensure that we continue our mission of providing everyone free and equal access to informational resources. Kaimuki Library is located at 1041 Koko Head Avenue, at the corner of Koko Head and Harding.

Kempo is a practical form of self-defense developed in Hawaii that uses the most effective techniques of several different Japanese and Chinese martial arts. Practitioners not only learn self-defense, but also self-confidence and a positive attitude.

Children benefit by learning personal safety, discipline, and respect for others.

Head Instructor Brian Wong and his students from a local Kempo group will demonstrate techniques that can be used by children, teens and adults. Wong, who has 20 years of experience in Universal Kempo Karate, has developed a training system that focuses on using techniques in realistic situations. This one-hour demonstration is suitable for ages 5 and older and anyone who wants to learn more about this "local" form of self-defense. For more information, call 733-8422.
