Martial Arts / By
Online Self Defense TrainingDuring these crazy times, it’s easy to feel out-of-control.  It’s also easy to wonder about whether or not you are “safe.”  If something happened, and you needed to do so… how confident are you that you could defend yourself? 

Everyday Self-Defense Tips

If You Had To, Could You Defend Yourself?

Martial Arts / By
This is a question that everybody should be able to answer with a resounding, “Yes!”  As times are changing, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that there is one person responsible for your safety.  That person… is you.  As a professional martial arts instructor, and a former police officer, I often talk with people about safety.

Martial Arts and Delayed-Gratification

Martial Arts / By
The martial arts can be thought of as a path – along the path, you will experience a very personal journey of growth in many areas of your life. But it takes time, patience, and perseverance.

Training in Multiple Styles – Benefits for Children

Martial Arts / By
In school, children often take a variety of classes including math, science, history, art/music, and social studies. This approach offers a foundation of knowledge that relates. Children benefit from having a well-rounded education covering many disciplines. Ultimately, as they enter adulthood, they may begin to specialize in certain fields of interest and probably go into a profession where their unique combination of skill and knowledge is beneficial to their company, their family, and the world at large.

I Wish I Never Quit

Martial Arts / By
In the 38 years that I have been training, this is something that I have heard a lot from folks.  I usually hear it in one of two ways- from either a child who has grown up, or an adult who has grown older.
