Who are we?
Braun’s Karate and Martial Arts Academy (BKMA) has proudly served the Kenosha area since 1996. As a dedicated martial arts club, we focus on developing discipline, respect, and personal growth through traditional martial arts training.
Our system of study is a comprehensive martial art rooted in ancient traditions that emphasizes the study of a wide range of martial techniques, philosophies, and principles. Students are exposed to multiple disciplines, including karate, aikido, kung fu, and other classical martial arts, providing a balanced and well-rounded education. All instruction is delivered in a traditional format that has proven effective for generations.
At BKMA, students learn far more than physical techniques. Our curriculum emphasizes life-changing principles such as leadership, discipline, respect, and healthy living—skills that positively influence school, work, family life, and the community.
A core component of our training is learning how to avoid physical conflict whenever possible. When all other options have been exhausted and self-defense becomes unavoidable, students are taught to respond appropriately—using only what is necessary to create an opportunity to escape and ensure safety.
We do not believe there is only one “best” martial art. Instead, we teach that effective martial arts come from integrating techniques and principles from many sources, allowing each student to develop a personal and practical style. After mastering a strong foundation such as Karate-do, instructors work with students to identify areas for improvement and introduce complementary disciplines to strengthen their overall ability.
This philosophy reflects the traditions of the samurai of ancient Japan, who trained in multiple forms of combat to be prepared for a wide range of situations. In the same way, our training adapts to each student’s body type, abilities, and limitations, creating a program uniquely suited to the individual.
We invite you to experience BKMA for yourself. We welcome students of all ages, and parents are encouraged to train side by side with their children, making martial arts a shared family journey.
