The martial arts instruction here is the best. Eight years ago I looked into over a dozen martial arts centers in the area for my son's and I. After having my son's attend trial classes at all of them, the Academy of Self Defense won out by a mile based on the abilities of all of their instructors. Now, after more then 7 years, my son's have EARNED (not just given) their brown belts in American Kenpo Karate. They have also learned many of the techniques of Brazilian Jui Jitsu, kickboxing and Russian Systema to name a few. I also like the side effect of building my son's confidence, self esteem, moral values, and greatly increasing their level of fitness from attending at least three days a week. Now as high school athletes they are doing very well because of what the ASD has done for them.
