Welcome To Our Academy
At The Academy, our students receive quality training from master level instructors who truly care about your martial arts experience.
The main goal of both Self Defense and Combative Arts is to "Preserve Life!"
One of our main goals is to perfect practical self defense techniques. This covers all fighting distances from long range to grappling, and single to multiple attackers. Let's face it, in a dangerous situation you will have little to no time to evaluate and come up with a multitude of logical defenses. Your body must move reactively. You must perform maneuvers over and over until your body will react even when absent of conscious thought. To this end, Applied Self Defense Tactics are incorporated into every discipline we teach. Each individual practitioner uniquely adapts these techniques to their abilities. No person is created the same as another physically or mentally, and our training allows for these differences. In order to accomplish this, we provide a variety of martial arts programs for all ages. You will experience the highest level of instruction, a great workout, and loads of fun. We look forward to meeting you and answering any questions you may have. - Angela Sutton, Chief Instructor
Our Programs Are Varied ...
The core of our Karate and BuJutsu lies in the roots of Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan Karatedo and BuJutsu. The two arts truly complement each other and at their highest levels are inseparable. Shorin-Ryu karate uses natural stances, breathing, and direct movements to evade and counter attacks. BuJutsu compliments this by applying the principles of off-balancing and leverage to the arts of falling, throwing, locking, grappling on the ground, and applied self-defense. The techniques are done with graceful and powerful movements while developing posture, fluid movement, excellent coordination, and attention to detail, thus giving a person the opportunity to be a well rounded and confident martial artist.
