"I always wanted to learn martial arts weapons.  When I first joined, they showed me how to control my body.  Weapons training came later. I've now learned over six weapons and I'm happy I'm here."

Martial Arts Self Defense Weapons Classes in Long Beach (by permission)

Our Approach
We believe that you need to know how how to use a weapon before learning how to defend yourself against it. Learn how to control a weapon and its strengths and weaknesses. We teach weapons and self defense against weapons after a student has achieved proficiency with their empty hand techniques.

Practice your techniques with a partner and a black belt instructor who guides and assists you though the process of learning weapons. We group our students by rank so you can focus on the weapons that are appropriate for your skill level.
