Our Programs
In addition to our weekly Self Defense classes, we have exclusive "Women's Only" Self Defense workshops throughout the year. Here we teach the straight forward self defense techniques that can save your life, or even the life of a loved one! Each workshop consists of a warm-up stretch then effective balance drills, striking, grappling, escapes, weapon basics and ground defense all used to empower the individual. Self Defense is like insurance: It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
Weapons class promotes physical and mental development through the process of mastering single, double, long/ short range, edged and blunt weapons. We practice control and accuracy and use foam padded weapons when necessary for extra safety. Weapons class can be an excellent extension of techniques from any martial art style.

The term "yoga" in the Western world often denotes a modern form of Hatha yoga and a posture-based physical fitness, stress-relief and relaxation technique, consisting largely of the asanas; this differs from traditional yoga, which focuses on meditation and release from worldly attachments. It was introduced by gurus from India after the success of Swami Vivekananda's adaptation of yoga without asanas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Vivekananda introduced the Yoga Sutras to the West, and they became prominent after the 20th-century success of hatha yoga.
