Reyes Kenpo Karate CLUB
In 1959 Great Grandmaster Aleju Reyes began teaching the first Kajukenbo classes at Travis AFB. In 1960 GGM Reyes founded the RKK Suisun Self-Defense Institute and in 1967 RKK began working with the City of Vacaville’s Parks and Recreation. RKK was recently honored for 55 years of Making a Difference. Since the passing of Senior Grandmaster Alan Reyes in December 2019, Grandmaster Ed Zickowski alongside Sigung Alan Christopher Reyes continue the Reyes family legacy.
While there have been up to seven RKK branches, there are currently two active Reyes Kenpo Karate schools. RKK Vacaville, CA (Since 1967) and RKK Memphis, TN (Since 2003).

“it’s a family, It’s a Way of life.”
“I’m indebted to SGM Reyes. I trained under him for a lifetime, he set me on my path to who I am today. I will never forget him or his teachings.”
