Take your life, or your child’s life to the highest level… Welcome to the Scottish Kempo Academy (SKA) website! Based in the scenic Highlands of Scotland, we are a friendly, family-orientated, professional and well established Self-Defence organisation who take pride in being one of the finest Martial Arts organisations in the world with schools at Inverness, Tain, Dingwall, Bonar Bridge, Alness and Strathpeffer. We have affiliated schools at Fortrose, Culbokie, North Kessock, Kiltarlity, Muir of Ord, Avoch and Conon Bridge with the SOS School of Self-Defence (SOS), as well as an affiliated Kempo school at Balintore with the Seaboard Self-Defence (SSD). We are the largest Self-Defence organisation in the North of Scotland and have Lil’ Dragons classes for children aged 4 – 7 years-old, and Kempo classes for children aged 8+ years-old, teens and adults. Our programmes are motivational, educational and inspirational with students receiving safe, effective and practical defensive tuition whilst reaching goals and skills they never dreamt that they could achieve!
