Shaolin American Kempo Karate

Welcome to the official website of Grandmaster Jim Brassard's Shaolin American Kempo Karate. 

Here, you will find information about me and the Martial Arts and Fitness Courses I offer.

My journey in the world of martial arts began in 1975 when I received a month of Karate lessons from my older brother. 

Since then, I have dedicated myself to training in the arts, started teaching in 1977, and turned it into a successful career by 1982.

Throughout my years of training, I have achieved 1st place in both Fighting and Kata at various tournaments and have established several thriving schools. 

My passion lies in helping individuals become strong and healthy, all while equipping them with skills that could potentially save lives.

With over 50 years of experience, I have had the privilege of learning from numerous Masters and Grandmasters, allowing me to possess a vast and unique knowledge of Martial Arts and Chi-Kung training. 

I have also delved into the forgotten strength training techniques of legendary strongmen like Siegmund Breitbart, The Great Gama, George Jowett, Bruce Lee, Eugene Sandow, and others.

My dedication to teaching has been recognized through numerous Honors and Awards, and I have served on the board of directors for some of the largest Martial Arts Organizations globally.

Join me on this journey of fitness with purpose, where you will not only improve your physical well-being but also acquire valuable skills that could potentially be life-saving.
