Our approach is specifically focused on practical self-defense. Our small, dedicated group trains bare-handed in everyday clothes with no belts or uniforms. We do this because we don't meet our adversary on the street and ask them to hang on a second while we take off our shoes, put on boxing gloves or tie our black belt on straight.

We're not some aerobic kickboxing class. You don't have to be in great or even good shape. This is highly functional self-defense for everyone. And our classes aren't classes at all. They are semi-private with only 5-8 people per session. After 3-months, you won't be the same person you were.

We also aren't concerned with training for the ring or some other sports competition. If you want to train for rules-based matches, train in Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing, MMA or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We don't care about holding a championship belt, scoring points in a match or getting trophies.

We don't train for ego either. We're not interested in how many people we can "take out" or how much of a bad ass others think we are. We're not some steroid-taking fight club that looks to beat people up. The last thing we want is to actually have to use what we know on someone else. However, if turns out that we do need to protect ourselves or our families, make no mistake, we train in order to handle ourselves when it matters.

At the center of our approach to training is realism. We train as closely as possible to a real life situation. Therefore, we strongly believe that there is no subsitute for realistic sparring. Allowing each other to find their own path to success through trial and error is essential. Through this, its our sincere hope that future generations develop to be even better than the past.
