Self-Defense
Practical, confidence-building self-defense in every class — plus seminars for groups, workplaces and organizations by request.
Learn to fight so you don’t have to
The ultimate irony of the martial arts is that after years of training, the most important skill you develop is restraint. Real self-defense starts long before anyone throws a punch: noticing what’s around you, avoiding trouble, and using your voice and body language to defuse a situation.
When avoidance isn’t possible, Taekwondo students learn to escape holds, create distance and — only when necessary — strike decisively. These skills are practiced in every class, with partners, under the supervision of black belts.
- Situational awareness
- Verbal de-escalation & a strong voice
- Wrist, clothing and bear-hug releases
- Striking vital targets
- Safe falling
- Defense for your size, age and strength
