Our Staff

Our Instructors & Staff Members

Our Instructors have spent many years devoted to training in the art of Kenpo and other martial arts and have attained a certain level of expertise to qualify them as teachers and also mentors.

Through extensive testing, certification and tournament level competition, our staff has attained mastery in this martial art and now enjoy sharing their skill and passing it on to their students.

Here are a few of DePalma's Team USA Martial Arts instructors and other staff members, starting with Kyoshi Fred DePalma:
Kyoshi Fred DePalma  (Kyoshi 9th Degree)

Kyoshi DePalma entered the USMC when he was 17 and is a former national champion with over 700 trophies and awards to his name. When asked what his greatest accomplishment was in the martial arts, he stated "I feel the best knowing that I am sharing part of me, my martial arts with others. Every time I hand a new belt to a student, from the youngest white belt to the highest black belt I feel I've accomplished my goals through their achievements."

"It's not about what I've done. It's about what we can do for you."
