Nick Cerio’s Kenpo Karate is the system taught at Studios Unis. The advantage of this system is that it develops a confident, non-aggressive attitude in its adepts. It can be practiced by all, its self-defense system being mostly centered on techniques that enable people to avoid difficult situations. This system also offers weapons training and traditional katas.

Nick Cerio’s Kenpo Karate is both recognized and influential in the world of martial arts. Moreover, the Studios Unis organization is privileged to have as its leader Nick Cerio’s first descendant, Sensei Clermont Poulin (8th degree). Sensei Poulin is the President and Founder of Studios Unis. He is thus able to share the teachings received directly from Sensei Cerio with the members of Studios Unis.

No matter what activity we practice, self-confidence has to be one of the most important elements of our success. Be it for a stroll in the park, an important business meeting or a school exam, our level of self-confidence often makes the difference between success and failure.

Self-defense is an activity that is part of martial arts and has a considerable positive effect on self-confidence. Knowing how to defend ourselves and how to react in difficult situations is certainly an essential asset in today’s society. Like its name indicates, self-defense is not based on attack. It rather consists in a set of simple and efficient techniques that lets people defend themselves adequately and sufficiently against any type of attack.

In addition to the beneficial effect on self-confidence, boosting the ability to face diverse situations, people practice self-defense for the sport and to get back in shape. Indeed, practicing self-defense contributes to the improvement of physical shape, flexibility, stamina, agility and speed. From the shortest to the tallest, the youngest to the oldest, self-defense is a complete sport that contributes to everyone’s physical and mental development.
