MAXIMUM IMPACT SELF-DEFENSE
Our Maximum Impact Self-Defense Class is highly focused on the asymmetric, and many times the harsh realities of true self-defense especially for Women. Most Women’s Self-Defense Classes teach moves which don’t correspond with the realities of real violent encounters. This class deals with the adrenal response syndrome, helping you to survive an attack under stress. Our program presents real life scenarios and teaches how to deal with them, using verbal de-escalation, situational awareness, and streetwise survival tactics. This program is meant to make you a hard target, a victor instead of a victim… If you are truly serious about learning self-defense, this class is meant for you!
No Uniforms, No Traditions, JUST SELF-DEFENSE!
ADULT LOW IMPACT MARTIAL ARTS
Our Adult Low Impact Martial Arts Class is specifically designed to facilitate age appropriate training for adult students ages 35 and above.

Many studies have shown that regular exercise, especially in a martial arts training regimen, can greatly reduce many of the ailments that go along with the aging process such as: osteoporosis, early onset Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, loss of balance and muscular strength. Our classes are meant for everyone of all skill and fitness levels. We will teach and guide you toward better physical fitness, while helping you learn fun, interactive, and safe martial arts.
