Karate/Kobudo TKD PE301 – From Okinawa, Japan, home to the oldest and healthiest people on earth, cultural history developed over centuries, it is one of the oldest and most effective self-defense systems ever created. You do not need to have prior experience to take this course – beginners are welcome! Our internationally certified instructors teach the complete Okinawan Karate system in a safe, positive environment. Skills include kicking, striking, using traditional weapons, defending, and escaping. Training is always a great workout as well as a stress reducer.
Gracie Jiujitsu PE341 – You will learn the complete system of Gracie/Pedro Sauer Brazilian Jiujitsu, designed to empower the weak to defend against a bigger attacker. Jiujitsu is taught in an enjoyable, safe, fully matted, positive environment, taught by internationally certified instructors. No former experience required! Skills include throws, takedowns, grappling, joint locks, escapes, and ground fighting.
Safety is our top priority in our classes. We emphasize discipline, respect, and self-control. We believe in partners, not opponents – we are not a sport or MMA-type school, but a place you can develop confidence, technique, and real-life self-defense skills. Our facility is clean and professional, and classes will help improve your health, strength, confidence, and self-discipline while also reducing stress. Contact your adviser or look for classes on Self-Service online if you’re interested!
