What We Teach in a Few Words

We teach young people, teens & adults —and we do it as good (and we think better) than anyone in town. We “unleash human potential” through the lessons of our Martial Arts Education of Intelligent Curriculum. On this website you’ll see just enough information to give you an idea of what we do —and the next step is to drop in or phone us, send us a note and feel free to ask us any questions we might not have yet answered.  Your first month with us is free to try it out, while we also evaluate you to qualify for membership.  We are a private school and we limit our enrollment. Find out more by clicking on "Info" in the Menu Bar or an image above.

The step after that is to either come watch a class and/or make an appointment for our Free Month Introductory Course.  Click Here for One Free Month to Try us out.  Once you or your child have gone through our introductory program (like test-driving a car), you’ll know just about everything you need to know about us, including who is teaching, what’s being taught, and how much to budget for lessons.
