About

We also offer weapons training for Nunchuks, Bo's, Kamas, Swords, Jo's and many more. We teach regular classes and we do private lessons. We have programs for kids from 4 to 7, and kids from 7 to 15, and an adult program. Please give us a call, and let's get you on your way to Black Belt!
I began when I was 11 years old, and I am 59 years old now. I love teaching kids self confidence and raising their self esteem. We also have an honor roll program for kkds, and we reward each honor Roll child with patches for their uniform. I believe the whole child is training in the martial arts. Our beliefe is that it takes 5 qualities to be a black belt; Honor, Integrity, Disclipline, Focus and Honesty! We are here to do what we love with your family.He
