A Family Business Serving Families
Family owned and operated, our roots go back to Benn Cohen's American Kenpo, founded in Boca Raton in 2017. The RONIN team of skilled instructors have been studying and teaching together for more than 10 years in most cases.
Mr. Leor Israel is the lead instructor having trained and taught in our system since 2013. He holds several Black Belts in different styles, and specializes in working with children of all ages. We have a deep team bench and offer a strong ratio of instructors to students in our classes. Mr. Leor is typically assisted by several of our resident Black Belts to ensure every student receives quality instruction and personal attention.
If you're RONIN, you're family.
