Tired of the over commercialized, “drive-through martial arts” that’s cropped up everywhere? Jeff Speakman is, and he’s making his old school style known at the Las Vegas “world training center” of Jeff Speakman Kenpo 5.0 Martial Arts School (4180 S. Fort Apache Rd.). As the founding father of this martial arts group, Speakman has opened over 80 franchises in 20 countries worldwide. The Vegas center will offer the K-5.0 After School Martial Arts Program, in which participating kids will be picked up at local grade schools by van and transported to Kenpo 5.0 for one hour of supervised homework and one hour of karate lessons. Afterwards, they can use the game room while waiting for their parents to pick them up after school. Call 991-9600 for appointments.
