How My Training Facility Operates
“EXPERIENCE THE ESSENCE OF MARTIAL ART”
I think a lot of people just don’t understand what martial art training is truly all about. A major part of this is that they’ve been entrained to see it that way by various groups such as the media and the martial art ‘industry’. To me, martial art is not about following the latest trend or fad. Instead, I begin with one simple question, "How can an individual, in the process of learning how to use their body, come to understand themselves?"
-- Chris Kent
The purpose behind the Kent Institute is simple:to offer people the opportunity to discover a whole new way of thinking about, and training in martial art. We do not consider ourselves part of the martial art “industry” and we don’t operate on the “model” that the majority of other martial art facilities use.
How are we different?
- Our training program is “process-oriented’ as opposed to “product-oriented’ -- We do not teach a “style” of martial art, nor do we teach a “mixture of styles” -- We offer a training process that helps each individual actualize their fullest potential as a martial artist.
- Our training program focuses on the “personal cultivation” of each individual– Students are not pushed through some pre-established, formulaic course of instruction in which everyone comes out looking identical. They don’t simply learn; they develop.
- Our training program is based upon scientific principles rather than tradition-- We view martial art training from a scientific perspective as opposed to a “style” basis or from a competitive sport perspective.
- Our training program offers a more efficient, more productive, better way to train -- Streamlined and efficient training methods ensure personal growth and help a student reach their true potential much faster than conventional martial art training programs.
- Our “totality-based” training program is fully integrated – We don’t segregate the various martial elements into separate classes that require additional fees, etc.
- Tuition is “all-inclusive” –There are no “hidden costs” or additional fees for such things as belt-testing, special classes, etc.
- Limited class size ensures personal attention from instructor staff.
All are welcome at the Kent Institute. We work with both males and females of all shapes, sizes, ages, and level of physical ability. The students who train at the Kent Institute come from a variety of backgrounds and work in all sorts of professions. Each has their own reason or purpose for training, but all are interested in developing greater self-knowledge and improving the quality of their life.
