UNIVERSAL KEMPO-KARATE SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
Prairie Winds Branch
ABOUT OUR KARATE SCHOOL
Grand Master Martin T. Buell started his martial arts training in 1953 and established the Universal Kempo-Karate Schools Association in 1981. His students have spread the Universal Kempo Karate School Association to 11 branches on the two largest islands of Hawaii, 1 branch in California, 18 branches in Colorado (Colorado Springs and Denver), 1 in Nevada, 1 in South Dakota, 1 in Texas, 2 in Virginia, 2 in Tennessee, 4 in Washington, 6 in Barbados, and our 1 branch here in Wyoming.
Prairie Winds Branch was started in July of 2015 when Instructor Greg Colbaugh realized he needed to move back home to Tennessee to help his family, and sold the martial arts school to Corey and Justine Jacobsen, two students of his for about 6 years. We continue to train with the same weapons, self-defense, and ground defense skills that Grand Master has taught everyone in his association over the years. New things are frequently added as Grand Master learns them and passes them on. Our martial art is a fluid one, designed to fit the student every bit as much as the student learns to fit in with it.
