Kempo

Kempo is Martial Arts Defense Systems’ primary “stand-up” martial art. It’s roots go all the way back to the Shao-lin temple in ancient China. Today, there are a wide variety of Kempo styles. Here are a few areas we focus on at Martial Arts Defense Systems:

• Striking: Learn how to hit efficiently and effectively.
  
  
• Forms/Kata: Traditional martial arts forms improve coordination, self awareness, and all areas of physical fitness.
  
  
• Grab Defense: Did you know almost all fights involve grabbing in some form? Learn how to use leverage to escape and counter even a larger, stronger opponent.
  
  
• Weapon Defense: An opponent with a weapon is very dangerous. Learn what you can do to not be a victim.
  

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Our classes are set up for individuals to be able to train realistically in a safe environment learning the principles of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Notwithstanding it's self-defense potential, BJJ offers a tremendous workout emphasizing aerobic and anaerobic conditioning, making it enjoyable for women, men and children regardless of athletic ability. But the greatest advantage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers is the ability for a smaller person to learn principles of leverage that will assist them in realistically defending against or defeating a larger opponent.
