McClendon Martial Arts has been voted Northern Kentucky's BEST martial arts program for three years in a row! 

Led by Michael McClendon, a third generation martial arts expert, McClendon Martial Arts blends traditional karate with modern techniques that empower students of all ages.


McClendon Martial Arts students learn the fundamentals of the discipline, mastering a fusion of self-defense moves and take-downs while learning healthy lifestyle habits, gaining confidence, building self-discipline, and understanding the importance of ethics and integrity on and off the mat. Teens and adults will practice effective techniques for punches, kicks, blocks, take-downs, and building cardio endurance, with classes designed for interests that range from staying generally fit to preparing for world-scale sparring and cage fighting competitions.

Our members consistently earn national championship titles in several circuits, including the World Karate and Kickboxing Union and World Karate and Kickboxing Commision. Our team has also competed internationally in Wales, Ireland, Portgula, and Canada.
