Adult Striking Program
Adult Striking Training
Most people aren’t looking for trouble, accidents happen all the time and someone may be out to hurt you or your family. Having peace of mind knowing you can protect yourself and your family based on your self-defense abilities is very rewarding. Learning striking techniques makes this possible and also has great health benefits aside from self-defense. For example, people may take striking and grappling for things like weight loss and improved muscle tone. Practicing martial arts on a regular basis can lead to a variety of outcomes—for people of all skill levels!
