Our Story

The story of the Dougherty’s Kenpo journey began with two little boys, Reese and Sebastian, at the ages of 6 & 7. Ryan and Shiloh wanted to ensure that their boys would share something in common, get exercise and have the ability to protect themselves while learning respect and focus. Not long after the boys began classes at Peoples Kenpo Karate, Ryan saw the opportunity to begin his journey. It was always something that he wanted to do as a child, but was not able to accomplish that goal until later in life.  Shiloh observed how her family enjoyed going to the dojo and decided to make time on her calendar for herself and enjoy time with her family at the dojo.

 

The Dougherty family embraced the positive family atmosphere of Peoples Kenpo Karate and had aspirations to open a sister dojo serving the Denver and Lakewood area. They wanted to give back to their local community and saw this opportunity through martial arts.

We are proud to share our mats with you and help guide your martial arts journey.
