Senior Advisor

Mr. AC Rainey

Senior Master of the Arts

Senior Master Rainey began his Kenpo Karate Training under Kenpo Grandmasters Dave Hebler and Jim Thompson in the fall of 1972 at Mt San Antonio College Tiger & Dragon Club. He was teaching within months under their tutelage. Through testing, teaching, competition and constant rigorous training with his Stable Mate Senior Master Paul Dye, Mr. Rainey earned his Black Belt from Founder and Senior Grandmaster Ed Parker by the summer of 1974. That same week he was also Belted in BKF by Grandmaster Ron Chapel whom he credits with honing his competitive fighting abilities. For the last 46 years, Mr. Rainey has continued to teach Kenpo at a high level of Proficiency taking breaks only for family and career goals. He has had the privilege to teach his brothers and sons as well as a cadre of Black Belts and watch them all excel in their teaching in their own right. Two of those teachers are Masters Todd Durgan & Rich Hale both of whom teach locally, nationally and internationally and are acclaimed great Kenpoists in their own right and continue to humble Mr. Rainey.

Senior Master Rainey has served in the military where his skills kept him and others safe. Later he also served as a Public servant teaching those same skills to other public safety officers as well as teaching men, women, and children both self defense and Kenpo.

In 2013 Mr. Rainey was awarded the Master status by the Kenpo community. The following

year He was recognized by his peers and inducted into the Masters Hall of Fame.

In 2019  Senior Master Rainey was awarded the Senior Master status by the Kenpo community.

Senior Master Rainey to this day still exudes a fascination and excitation when watching a white belt or anyone realize their full potential, and he loves teaching one-on-one. His goal is to teach his art and watch his students become as good or better than  Senior Master Rainey at the Martial Art of Kenpo.

Advisor

Mr. David Prosser

Master of the Arts

Mr. Prosser started his Martial Arts in American Kenpo, training in 1978 under Terry Danzer, a black belt
under Sterling Peacock. Prior to that Mr. Prosser was an amateur boxer in the local boxing club under his
father, winning several city titles and going on to win inland empire titles. Mr. Prosser happened to sit in
on a Kenpo class that Mr. Danzer was teaching ( with boxing influence integrated into his teaching style)
and immediately wanted to learn the system. !
Mr Prosser earned his 1st degree black belt from Terry Danzer in 1981. Mr Prosser trained with Master
Dan Kaufman through out his early years of Kenpo ( Dan Kaufman is a direct student of Master Skip
Hancock). Mr Prosser was an instructor of the Coeur d’ Alene Karate and boxing club under Master
Sterling Peacock ( Mat David) and received his 2nd. and 3rd. blacks under Sterling Peacock. Mr. Prosser
began studying with Senior Grand Master Al Tracy and received several more advancements under the
Tracy system. Mr. Prosser is very fotunate to train under his good friend Grand Master Ralph Casteelanos
(9 time world champion) to present . !
In 1986 Mr. Prosser relocated to Nevada bringing his teaching methods of American Kenpo combined
with his boxing style witch created a very street affective style to his students. In 1992 Mr. Prosser was
fortunate to meet Senior Grand Master Dave Hebler ( 7th. under Mr. Parker at the time) and has been a
student to present earning his 8th. black from Mr, Hebler in June of 2013. !
Mr. Prosser has competed in tournaments through out the Northwest, Northern California and Nevada
along with his students with great success winning state championships in sparring and weapons but most
success has come from the free style full contact tournaments winning numerous matches in the ring from
smokers ( friday night boxing matches) to kick boxing. !
Mr. Prosser has trained hundreds of students throughout the years in street smart Kenpo. A method of
training that teaches to think of the art as an offense style versus the defense style, when its time to react,
explode now! We train our students to strike first,strike hard and get out. Physical fitness is a priority, 50% of        training. Motto “ how you train in the gym is how you will fight in the street” !
