Why practice self protection and martial training?
Though the exercises we do are not highly cardiovascular or muscle growth concepts we do get general global exercise and that is a health benefit in itself. Self protection, defense, does not take long to learn. A knowledge set that in even one training session a great deal can be learned about the parameters of violence and how to win under duress.
So why stay longer, or for some, a lifetime in training?
It’s a place to work on the self, ourselves. To sharpen and exercise skills. To develop the capability to defend ourselves which offers a new perspective to operate from. In our classes we gain control of ourselves through gaining control of our body and our ability to handle incoming information and how to develop the ability to adjust to what we have learned. We do this through various developmental and self protection training. The training is not brutal. You develop who you are and what you can do. Guidance is here.

4th Degree Close Combat
4th Degree Ki Chuan Do
I teach personalized, high level, brand X, martial arts through an empirical learning method. The training is not brutal. If you've ever wanted to learn martial arts or self defense then I have something very different and better for self protection to show you. Though the majority of my clients have been achievers and people interested in personal growth, I have also taught Police, SWAT Members, Military Personnel, Federal Agents, Bouncers, Bodyguards, and others who must physically deal with people in order to be safe in their professions. You will learn quickly how to protect yourself or your family should you ever need to. If you stay with training for a while, you will learn efficient body mechanics and movement and take your self defense practice to an artful level
