Our dynamic Martial Arts Program in Huntington Station, NY has something for everyone. Children gain rock solid self-confidence, build unshakable self-esteem, and hone razor sharp focus, while adults get fit, improve flexibility and quickly eliminate stress!
Hi! My name is Master Dominick Panetta, and I’m very PROUD that hundreds of families all over the Huntington Station area are singing the praises of our programs and telling their friends and neighbors how much of a positive impact it’s having on their lives. (You can see some of these stories for yourself on the “Reviews” page!)
At American Kempo Martial Arts our schedules are tailored to provide you and your family with the best in Martial Arts training in a safe clean environment. We take pride in keeping our classes controlled by age and rank. All of our classes are divided by age group and by training level to allow more one on one time with your Instructor.
At American Kempo Martial Arts we strive to create leaders and work side by side with any and all students, of any age, to help them achieve all that they are capable of attaining.
American Kempo Karate is a modern and realistic self-defense art, a combination of ancient fighting techniques and modern scientific principles. Its special trait is its unending fluid motion. Every move creates a specific reaction in your opponent. Each reaction gears you to your next move. Each move flows into the next. This logical and sequential flow of action is the essence of Kempo.
It is also a method of physical and mental conditioning. You develop the ability to accomplish what you thought was beyond your capabilities. You train your spirit as you train your body, developing inner strength, balance and harmony as you learn.
Our members tell us that our school is more of an institution of self-improvement, physically and mentally, rather than just a gym or some “activity.” It feels like a family. We concentrate on building the whole person: Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and socially.
I pride myself on helping our adult members safely build lean muscle, quickly burn fat, gain flexibility, and relieve stress in a FUN, positive, and injury-free environment!
And for the children, parents all over the Huntington Station area give my martial arts classes credit for increasing their child’s ability to focus in school and at home, building their self-esteem, and igniting a passion for self- improvement they never would have expected.
The martial arts are not “just” about self-defense!
In reality, the physical “kicking and punching” are really just tools that I use to teach the more important, and MUCH more valuable lessons about yourself and life.
By practicing physical self-defense skills, you will follow the proven path for successful living based on discipline, focus, and perseverance.

His balance of patience and standards gets the best out of my son each time! Euthemia Perruzza2024-11-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the best things I ever did for my kids. Aside for the physical and mental health benefits their academic performance has improved by implementing the philosophy learned in Kempo to their school work. Master Panetta is amazing with children. Laura Falacara2024-11-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. the best dojo and the best teacher!

My grandson came here to try it out. His father is the pickiest person when it comes to where his son learns. We all found it flawless. Domenick is a true professional in every sense of the word. He has managed to integrate structure, education, fun and hard work all in one workout. All children are equal. My grandson who has tried boxing and jiu jitsu said this is the bestI have always been a big fan of jiu jitsu, however, I am excited to learn about Kempo. This has to be the best martial art I have been witness to...Keep it up, Domenick Panetta! You are awesome!!!
