ABOUT OUR KARATE SCHOOL
American Warrior Arts offers traditional Martial Art classes for ages 3 through adults. Classes are designed to teach the everyday person self-defense in a fun and lighthearted way, but also gives them the chance to embark on the path of a true American Warrior. It focuses on the individual and their personal strengths and weaknesses in order to give them the best fighting chance to keep themselves and their families safe. Students will learn a style that forces them to use not only their body but also their mind. It combines the teachings of traditional Hapkido and Ninpo Taijutsu to create a well-rounded style that incorporates modern-day weaponry to form a complete and practical self-defense system. All students will learn discipline, respect, and control, in order to help them on their own path towards betterment and self-improvement.
