We've heard the same comment from so many:
"I'm over this / too old for mma 'stuff.' I just want to protect myself and my family. I just want to get it over with as quickly as possible."
This is exactly what our class is about! It's great for men age 15+ who do want a good workout, to have some fun, and to make new friends, but most importantly who want a no nonsense approach to self-defense.
Our adult 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 including 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 martial arts training around 1993, starting with traditional styles (Kung Fu San Soo), and quickly expanded into others. 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). You will improve your health and physique but not be too sore to go to work tomorrow. You will be ready to defend yourself against weapons, multiple attackers, standing and on the ground.
