We at MG Kenpo Academy teach Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate.

In 2007, Mr. Gomez came up with this idea to convert part of his home into a martial arts school teaching Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate and since then, he has done just that, changing the lives of dozens of kids, teens, and adults who joined over the years.The original location was in Monrovia, CA and what was what we called "garage training" because we were literally in a garage converted into a martial arts studio.

However, in Feb of 2012, after years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance, Mr. Gomez fulfilled his dream and was finally able to open his first commercial school in the City of Duarte, CA and is now the new home of MG Kenpo Academy.

If you're looking to get your child or yourself into a quality martial arts program, then we should talk. We're offering quality, fun, and energetic classes to everybody of all ages.

Don't pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars each month to a school that only cares about money and not the students. MG Kenpo Academy cares about the success of each and every single one of their students, and it shows. We have produced champions and instilled confidence in many students.

Mr. Gomez would like to invite you to come and try a few classes as an introduction at no charge. This will give you a chance to see what the classes are all about and see whether or not this will be a fit for you and/or your child. If you are satisfied and eager to continue, which, honestly, mostly everybody stays, because the art and the classes really do sell themselves, we will offer you one free month.

Let us tell you what you will receive as a student of MG Kenpo Academy:

- Full-filled classes.
- Get in better shape.
- Feel better and more confident about yourself.
- Develop coordination, motor skills, strength building, and balance.
- For kids, learning the importance of Stranger Danger.
- Able to participate in any martial arts tournament.
- Formal and structured classes.
- Official testing with rank certification.
- Learn one of the most elite self-defense arts in the world today.
- Quality instruction from certified black belts.
- Feeling a sense of pride.

Our location offers a fun, safe, and clean environment. Training equipment and gear are available. You make new friends for life as you join an association of brotherhood and sisterhood because when you're a student, you're family!

We are a proud member of the O.K.K.A.

We at the MG Kenpo Academy pay our greatest respects and admiration to Grand Master Ed Parker and his skill and insights into Kenpo Karate and the lasting legacy he has left. We are determined to teach Grand Master Ed Parker's art the way he outlined which is the way he taught us.

We intend on making the Parker Kenpo System continue to be the most well-known style of martial arts in the world. We have both the authority and ability to promote all who wish to learn the Parker Kenpo System and welcome the sincere and conscientious instructor and student with open arms. If you are a Parker Kenpo System practitioner, we are here to serve as a support group.

  I enjoy having Mr. Gomez as my teacher. He is always encouraging his students and makes us feel proud of every achievement, no matter how big or small. His class has a “family” feel to it.

  The change in my son over the past year has been tremendous. He has developed improved coordination and a more dedicated attitude regarding physical fitness, as well as increased confidence and a more positive mental outlook.

  To whom it may concern,
  
  I have had the pleasure of knowing Maurice Gomez for many years and hold him in the highest regard. He’s an excellent martial artist who can both perform the art of American Kenpo and teach it as well. Having shared the mat with Maurice I can personally attest to his skill and knowledge.
  
  Aside from being an excellent martial artist, Maurice is a great friend as well, who I’m proud to have as my brother in the art. His attentiveness and genuine concern for his students is always apparent, which makes him not only a great teacher, but a great leader as well.
  
  Maurice is one of those instructors who understand that there’s more to the martial arts than the memorization of routines. He actually teaches the art with such sophistication and professionalism that his students have the opportunity to become great teachers as well.
  
  
  Respectfully,

  If you want to learn Kenpo in an environment that is not only conducive to learning but also physically and intellectually stimulating, you've found the place. MG Kenpo Academy is bar none, the BEST Martial arts studio in the SGV. The prices are ridiculously low for the value of information you will receive here. The head instructor, Mr. Gomez is not only extremely knowledgeable but is very adept at performing the movements and techniques. He is effortless in thought and in motion. He never asks his students to do anything he would not do himself and practices what he preaches...a rarity in this day and age of the many 'martial art McDonald's' that are only concerned with turning a profit. I cannot say enough good things about MG Kenpo Academy, but don't take my word for it...see it and experience it for yourself.

  The classes at MG Kenpo are not merely a karate lesson, but an enlightening section towards your mind and body. Since MG Kenpo is a family size dojo, Master Gomez can focus on students one on one through regular class section. Master Gomez demonstrated an admirable degree of passion, knowledge and skills towards Kenpo. His moves are polished & professional and the students learned a lot from him. His teaching includes a wide variety of Kenpo School Teaching method, such as Old School Kenpo Training, New Conventional Kenpo class, Kenpo Technique Line, Basic Tranditional Karate and technique knowledge. He varied his class to be age appropriate for primary, middle and upper grade students and made good use of student participation. I highly recommend Master Gomez & MG Kenpo Academy to all kids, audit and Kenpoist.
