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.

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 just say a picture is worth 1000 words.​
