Will martial arts keep my child or me from getting beat up?

There is never a guarantee how a fight will turn out once it starts. Self-defense is only one reason to start martial arts training. There are many benefits to training in self-defense karate and kickboxing. What we can say is that with the confidence of martial arts you and your child will have the knowledge and skills to avoid the fight and if it comes to it put up the best defense.

How do I know if I'll have fun with martial arts before making a big commitment?

It isn't a good idea to jump into a commitment without first knowing your interest level. You can gauge your interest with a Trial Membership and sign up for a regular membership when you are ready.  Once you sign up as a member you still enjoy a great deal of flexibility since we don't require year-long contracts.

Do you require a big year-long contract?

NO.  We only offer long term contracts to Advanced Members.  Our Regular Members are offered an open ended contract that they can cancel at any time with only 30 days notice.

Do we have to compete in tournaments?

Not unless you want to.  Competition is fun for some people and we encourage you to explore your interests.  If you are not interested in competing there is plenty to learn in Martial Arts without the tournaments.
