Semi-Private Group Classes

Our class sizes are small so that we can meaningfully focus on each person and help them along their journey.

Armed & Unarmed Training

We cover many combinations of unarmed vs unarmed, armed vs unarmed, and armed vs armed. Armed training is essential to learn how to defend against someone using a weapon against you.

Effective Training Methodologies

We focus on staying up-to-date using proven training methodologies and constantly improving ourselves as instructors and an academy.

Survival Skills

Self-defense comes in many forms, but all too often basic survival skills and tactical retreats are neglected when they could also help you protect loved ones and yourself in likely scenarios.
