About Me

Proud mother and happily married for 28 years. My husband & I own a beautiful karate school where we teach American Kenpo. We often bring a mixture of karate styles into our teachings to offer students a well-rounded (yet very traditional) style. Kocyla Karate is proud to work with world respected instructors such as Sifu Ed Parker Jr., Shihan Ted Tabura, Professor Frank Trejo to name a few. We host seminars at our two story studio, as well traveling often to participate in karate camps & other events. We train respectful students and encourage event participation in our nationwide tournaments!We also have a farm - HIDDEN VALLEY HAY - which takes up the rest of our energy! Can't say we sit around idle!

Winter Blues
