Live With Honor - Whatever It Takes - Until The Last Day
Shawn and Rebecca Knight are seventh degree black belts and senior professors in the lineage of Sigung Stephen LaBounty. They have over 55 combined years in (and more importantly at) the art of Kenpo Karate. Alongside their top-notch staff, they serve their students, whom they proudly call their “Kenpo Family”.
The Knight's unique way of teaching their students self defense and delivering personal empowerment is called Knight Method Kenpo. They are proudly committed to maintaining the integrity and legacy of the art in the Lineage of Sigung Stephen LaBounty. That makes their students members of the LaBounty-Knight Kenpo Lineage.
This extraordinary lineage also has the privilege and honor to be guided and mentored by Knight Method Kenpo's Masters Council consisting of the following members: Bob White (basics coach), John Sepulveda (techniques coach), Lee Wedlake (forms coach).
We encourage each student to travel the path of self-discovery as he or she internalizes the concepts, theories and principles taught at Knight Method Kenpo.

Sigung Stephen LaBounty Testimonial
I wish it to be known by all that I have had the good fortune to asked by Shawn Knight and Rebecca Knight to be teacher and guide in their martial journey. This was a decision that took some hard questions to be asked of myself, i.e. How do they move really? Are they performers, actors looking for a Senior Kenpoist to add his name as a figure head to give them some credentials as authentic? Do they wish to entertain me with flattering and ego building statements, trips, awards, etc? All serious and inclusive thoughts of genuineness and honor. Both of these fine people, foreseeing and quite expecting these misgivings, made sure that they "proved" themselves as truly genuine.
They brought me in, allowed me to teach their cadre of advanced belts, took private lessons, updated their required forms for inclusion in their curriculum, and most of all, befriended their soon to be extended family of the LaBounty lineage. Completing every task given to them, working to stay sharp with Kenpo, even through injury, participating in lively and up close and personal training sessions, they never wavered in their desire to continue to learn as they say, "Until the last day”.
It is therefore, my acceptance of them both as my personal public and private students. I also accept their students and schools as part of my ongoing lineage, and give these two personal students permission to teach all and everything that I teach them, with the understanding that with this lineage they show the true calling of a Kenpo Black Belt of their rank. As the Senior Belt, I insist on Shawn Knight, to guide and keep the high standards of the Rough and Tumble application of this system while teaching the principles and concepts as set down by our Senior Grand Master with all due diligence and honor.
