Haines Kenpo Karate has been providing quality martial arts instruction to the Sacramento area for over 20 years. Whether your interest is traditional martial arts or combat sports we offer a variety of training options able to meet almost any student’s schedule and budget.

Our school was founded in 1986 by Sijo Trevor Haines. Sijo Haines has over thirty years of experience in the martial arts, is the founder of the Five Animal Kenpo system, is a Sifu in Wing Chun Kung-fu, and is certified by the French Fencing Federation as a Master of Arms.

The owner of our school is Michael Ernst. Mr. Ernst has been training at Haines Kenpo since its inception and is the only student in the school’s history to receive separate Black Belts in both the American and Five Animal Kenpo systems. Mr. Ernst is honored to carry on the legacy of Haines Kenpo through our two martial arts dojos and three recreation and park district programs.
