Reyes Kenpo Karate CLUB
In 1960 Great Grandmaster Aleju Reyes began teaching the first Kajukenbo classes at Travis AFB. In 1961 GGM Reyes founded the RKK Suisun Self-Defense Institute and in 1967 RKK began working with the City of Vacaville’s Parks and Recreation. In 2022 RKK was honored for 55 years of Making a Difference by the City of Vacaville. 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).
