Personal Safety &
Self-Defense
Our martial arts classes incorporate self-defense training with a full traditional taekwondo curriculum that teaches students how to kick, punch, and strike safely and effectively and also provides ongoing practice so students can fully memorize effective self-defense techniques. This allows you to develop the long-term muscle memory necessary to react immediately without thinking when you’re under stress in a real-life situation.
In addition to learning these skills, a cornerstone of martial arts is learning to resolve conflicts before the problem escalates to physical confrontation. Through the emphasis on courtesy, respect, and self control, taekwondo classes teach students how to work with others to resolve conflicts without resorting to violence. This is great for kids who encounter bullying or anyone who wants to avoid a physical altercation.

Master Amitis Pourarian developed this program in cooperation with one of the nation’s leading child abduction experts because she wants to help ensure children in our community stay safe from the growing threat of human trafficking.
