Adult Self Defense

Ages 18+

Karate, kickboxing, aikido and knife defense, combined into one practical self defense system. Realistic, effective and built for real-world situations.

Adult program

Restore your confidence.

The Red Dragon Self Defense style is an integration of all of our non-firearms training: real-life situation martial arts for adults who want skills that actually work.

You’ll train karate for structure and power, kickboxing for conditioning and striking, aikido for joint locks, throws and redirecting an attacker’s force, and the basics of knife defense with safe training knives.

Whether you are starting from zero, coming back after years away, or rebuilding your sense of safety after something happened to you, you’ll be coached at your level. Private one-on-one sessions are available too.
