Palanzo Martial Arts was founded by Tenth Degree Senior Grandmaster Joe Palanzo, in 1970.  We have been serving the Baltimore and surrounding communities for over 50 years. We truly are a family-owned small business, with three generations of Palanzos teaching and training at our facilities. We are dedicated in our commitment of sharing our knowledge of martial arts to you and your family. Through Palanzo Martial Arts, and our organization, we have shaped the lives of tens of thousands of martial artists. We look forward to guiding you on your rewarding journey. Every student at Palanzo Martial Arts is valued and will receive the best martial arts training possible.

The main focus of our martial arts system is Kenpo Karate. It's a self-defense system that incorporates elements of boxing, kickboxing, judo, and jiu-jitsu to make you a well-rounded martial artist. The system is made up of techniques that have a sequence of moves to defend against various types of attacks. With proper training you become proficient with the techniques and can formulate your own responses following the rules and principles of motion. Our classes are tailored to our student’s individual needs.  Rest assured that no matter what type of background or learning style that you have, you will get the training you need to succeed.
