Kingdom Martial Arts

Kingdom Martial Arts is a Christian-owned martial arts school in Fall River, Massachusetts, serving students from the surrounding communities. Its mission is to put God first and use martial arts to teach faith, courage, perseverance, self-discipline, integrity, kindness, and respect. The school offers a hybrid self-defense curriculum grounded in traditional karate, with supplementary techniques from kickboxing and Krav Maga.

Classes are organized for children ages 6–8, youth ages 9–11, teens ages 12–15, and adults 16 and older. Younger students build strength, coordination, and foundational skills, while older students progress to more advanced training. A homeschool class for ages 6–16 provides exercise and opportunities to socialize. The school also hosts a monthly women’s self-defense class, available for a $35 fee per session without a membership requirement; participants can earn a certificate after attending 12 classes.

Head instructor Sensei Joshua Richards is a second-degree black belt in Uechi Ryu Karate-Do and has taught martial arts since 2019. Kingdom Martial Arts welcomes inquiries about introductory lessons and class information.
