"Nothing is more harmful to the World
than a Martial Art that is Ineffective in Self-Defense!"  
​                 -- Choki Motobu, (1870-1944)
(Legendary Okinawan Self Defense Master and Renown Fighter) ​

If I can show you a way of Learning Practical, Effective Self Defense, to Reduce Your Fears without competing with aggressive, testosterone pumped brutes seemingly intent on breaking you into pieces and eating your liver, or spending hours repeating over and over tournament techniques that seem non-sensical and ineffective for self defense purposes, would you be interested in learning Practical, Proven Effective Self Defense?

As you know, until recently, when you wanted to Learn Practical Self Defense to Protect Yourself, you had to go to two-hour long special weekend class or join a martial arts school with mostly kids that teaches you techniques for rules-based competition and then wonder if you could remember the techniques, or if they even worked for you in no-rules violent encounters! 
...Or, you'd have to join a fight club where you might kick and punch and roll around on the ground that works for big muscular men but still wonder if you would really use it against someone resisting you. Now, if you agree with me then what I'm about to tell you will completely change how you feel about spending hours in the gym repeating competition techniques over and over and maybe rolling around on the mat or using muscles for your protections. . . and how much more quickly you will learn to protect yourself against sudden no-rules violence with our easy to learn, practical, proven effective, natural body movements for self defense in our small, friendly, cooperative classes.

Whether you're an experienced martial artist or a beginner, we have the equipment, space, and teacher knowledge (some call us the Martial Arts Grad School) to help you Learn Practical Self Defense to Reduce your Fears and Walk with Confidence. Now it's so easy to Learn Practical, Proven Effective, Natural Body Movement Self Defense.

"This is a real karate dojo for those searching for a true home to learn martial arts. When I say real I mean a serious environment, not gimmicky, where the lessons are aimed towards self defense and the Sensei is an actual teacher, not one past their prime who wears their belt for looks. I mean no disrespect towards other teachers but there are those who rely on belt color more so than fitness to gain respect. Here, Sensei Roberto is a classic master: he teaches the classes himself, there is no contract, there is no testing fee, and they use no pads, head gear or gloves in their practice -- it's the real deal. But don't get me wrong. Although this school is mature and most students here are upper belts, they are a convivial crowd with warmth and true appreciation for each other. They welcomed me immediately and were great hosts to all that joined after. They have plenty to pull rank for but no one does. That is because Sensei doesn't. He is open and approachable and earnestly just wants to teach karate. Okinawan karate rocks, btw. You'll get an immediate sense of all this upon your first class and then you'll know like me."
