Our School

Welcome to Family Martial Arts & Fitness Studios where it is our mission to prepare individuals for survival against a potentially life threatening encounter. To accomplish this we educate our students in a quality, practical, street smart self defense system in a warm, friendly, and safe environment.

We offer programs for the entire family in both group and private settings. We accept students beginning at three years of age, as long as they are willing to work, to have FUN, listen, and potty trained!

The fun doesn’t stop there! Older students receive in-depth education in Martial Science. We do not merely teach the student how, we teach them why. We feel it is very important that our students understand the different aspects of the self-defense techniques they learn. They learn the correct alignment and position of each technique. How the alignment protects our bodies from injury; provides the greatest power in our attack, while at the same time minimizing our vulnerability.

We teach our students about threat assessment and minimizing conflict (de-escalation). We learn to deal with fight scenarios from a conflict resolution perspective. Our goal is to resolve the conflict prior to becoming a physical altercation. If we cannot, then we resolve the conflict physically as quickly as possible bringing it to completion.

This is what we call "SHORT DURATION CONFLICT"

It is never our goal to harm another person but it is our goal to protect ourselves or someone else from harm.

Our base system is Shaolin Kempo but we have added various worthwhile techniques from other systems of instruction. We often say that is you enjoy chess you will love our Martial Science Program.

Give us a call. Come in for a free lesson, allow us to answer your questions and evaluate you as a student and experience the difference it can make in your life.

The benefits extend to every age group and they are realistic and exciting. From stretching to strengthening, from developing coordination and balance, to the mental edge you gain through attentive detail in your body position and movement, to the skill you develop in defending yourself against potential conflict. The benefits of martial study are for people of all ages.

You will discover we are cooperative in our instruction rather then competitive. It is not our goal to see who the best is, but to help one another become the best that we can be in here, so if we need to us our skill “out there” we can survive the conflict.

Once again, give us a call or come by. Schedule a free private lesson for your evaluation of our program and experience for yourself the benefits of an education in martial science

We are a Black Belt School

Many people misunderstand the concept of the black belt. A black belt, itself, is not the ultimate achievement in the Martial Arts. There are actually 10 different levels of the black belt, the first of which signifies that the student is ready to begin the advanced level of training. It takes approximately 4 to 6 years to achieve the first level of black belt, and every new student should look at this belt as a realistic goal. Remember, goals are needed in order to keep you focused while you are acquiring the skills needed to achieve them. Much like college, the goal of an Associate Degree helps keep you motivated to complete your two years of study, enabling you to realize some tangible benefit for your efforts. Think of your black belt as a 4-6 year degree.

Students are expected to set goals and commit themselves to achieve them. Individuals who wish to become Family Martial Arts and Fitness Studios students, should expect to attend at least two classes per week.

Our classes are taught by certified black belt instructors, who care about their students and conduct themselves accordingly. They help students to learn and to improve themselves through positive support and encouragement, not through intimidation! Please feel free to ask your instructor any questions that will assist in your decision to make our studio your place to train. Come and join our family and remember, teaching and helping you is the reason we are here.
