Empowering others to have Courage, Compassion and Confidence.
As a survivor of domestic violence, I know all too well the feeling of being helpless. I watched as my mother was repeatedly admitted to the E.R. for over 9 years. Every time she would return home, I would notice that a little more of life faded from her eyes. I cried out to God, what could possibly be the purpose for all this!?
I too would experience the same brutality at the age of 12, when I was beaten unconscious for playing with a deck of cards. All I remember is turning away from my step father to simply place the cards on the shelf. Next thing I knew, I woke up in the E.R. with blunt force trauma to the back of my head and neck. Again, I asked God what the purpose for this was.

5 benefits of our classes for those who struggle with self-esteem depression, anxiety, or even PTSD.
We promote a environment of respect, empowerment, healing, and support. We want you to feel you are in a safe environment and we also believe in having fun while learning. |
This program combines a mixture of basic techniques designed to prepare anyone for any situation. We teach instinctive movements, so they are easy to learn and remember under stress.
Our program is not dependent on size, strength or special physical ability. We explore "real life" situations where you learn to fight off an "attacker". We help you develop an understanding of the 5 elements of combative conflict resolution: Awareness, Confidence, Assertiveness, Knowledge, and Focus. This program is effective for men and women ages 8 and up. We welcome you to join us (Tues and Thurs 5:45pm to 7:15pm) |
How Effective Is Our Program?Our 17 year old son Chris has been taking self-defense classes for 3 years and recently tested for his blue belt, leaving about 3 more years to earn his black belt. One of Chris's goals is to become a police officer in the Army. I purchased both the Marine and Army Combative Martial Arts manuals for him to work on achieving his goal. Just for fun I had him go through each book and mark all the techniques he knew with red tabs and the techniques he wasn't sure about, with blue tabs. Let's just say a picture is worth 1000 words.
