Why train with us?
What makes us different?
What will you get from us that you won't get anywhere else?

Customized training

We don't force everyone to train the same things or train the same way. Why? Everyone is different. We feel, as teachers we should help YOU identify and develop your strengths. Join our program and you'll get customized instruction based on your needs.

Our program offers fitness training and self defense training. The fitness sessions concentrate solely on improving your cardio vascular health. The self defense sessions include some fitness training (because the better shape you are in, the better you can apply your skills) but the main emphasis is skill development thru partner drills. Why? So you learn, in a controlled fashion, how to apply your techniques against an attacker.

You determine the intensity

Some people want very controlled contact with their training partner. Some people want a more "no holds barred" approach. We allow you and your training partner to establish the "ground rules" before you start training together. This includes level of contact, acceptable techniques and allowable targets.

If you are someone who desires heavy contact, don't worry about only having training partners who want very limited contact. We have more than enough participants to accommodate your unique needs too.

Price

We work to give you the lowest price for training. You can drop in and train for $8 a session. If you join the JCC's health club, you can buy a block of 8 training sessions (redeemable at any time) for $30. That ends up being $3.75 per session.

Even if you choose not to join the health club, you can buy a block of 8 training sessions for $40. $5 a training session is a bit more expensive than $3.75, but not by much.

There are NO testing fees. Uniforms are NOT required, you can train in shorts and a t-shirt. If you really want a uniform, we will search to find one at the lowest price, get it for you at OUR cost and give you the receipts. We act as the middleman but there are NO MARKUPS.

Sparring gear is required. But, just like uniforms, we'll find you the best price and get gear for you at cost. There are NO MARKUPS on gear and we'll turn over the receipts to prove it.
