Is martial arts violent?
Understandably, some people find martial arts synonymous with “fighting”. However, that is NOT the case. Martial arts is more than just fighting.

However, our certified instructors carefully demonstrate each form so that students can perform safely. At the same time, all instructors receive annual first aid training. Thus, you can be rest assured we do everything we can to ensure the safety of our participants.
