Women’s Self Defense

There are times when females have specific fears and problems which need specific solutions. Our classes can show any female how to protect herself against bigger and stronger attackers, while gaining the self-confidence she needs. At the same time, our self-defense classes are built to be the best workout you’ve ever experienced!

Men’s Self-Defense through the Original Mixed Martial Art

Men don’t need the traditional martial arts that focus on kids, and why should they train with sport arts which won’t protect them out on the street? Our self-defense classes are the challenge you need in to succeed in your family, at your job, and in life. Learn the most cutting edge self-defense system ever created!
