Self-defense for kids of all ages:
Our class is about self-defense. It's great for building skill, confidence, fitness, and making new friends. Our age appropriate classes all take a no nonsense approach to self-defense.
Our self-defense class uses a mix of modern, proven, realistic martial arts, all rolled into one class. The curriculum is primarily based on Krav Maga, but includes elements from Brazilian JiuJitsu, MMA, Boxing, plus traditional martial arts. Krav Maga covers real world scenarios. When the kids are old enough and/or advanced, they will learn to deal with weapons and multiple attackers. The other martial arts are included to fill in the gaps where Krav Maga is not as well-developed.
Instructor Dave started his training around 1993, starting with traditional martial arts (Kung Fu San Soo), and quickly expanded into other styles. He has competed in many martial arts settings but finds the most satisfaction in helping others learn to defend themselves. Check the "Training and Instructors" page for more about Dave.
The training is medium intensity (challenging but beginner friendly). Your kids will improve their health and physique, but more importantly their confidence, focus and discipline. They will be ready to defend themselves against bullies and be aware of stranger danger, etc.
