Beware of the programs that offer a black belt in two years and promote everyone to black belt whether they deserve it or not. This approach only provides students with a false sense of security and produces "paper tigers." At Louisville Martial Arts Academy we offer a superior and ethical program that teaches the concepts and principles of Real Self Defense.
One of the things that separates our academy from our competion is our Complete Self Defense Philosophy. If you or your child must defend yourselves then it is important to understand the different ranges of an encounter. There is weapons range (where someone is trying to club or stab you), striking range (which deals with punching, blocking, trapping and kicking), and grappling range (where someone grabs you, or if the fight goes to the ground).
The Complete Self Defense PhilosophyThe Complete Self Defense Philosophy at Louisville Martial Arts Academy addresses all areas of a real situation: striking, grappling, and weapons. This concept embraces the idea of cross training. You will have the opportunity to study three different martial arts. Each style offers a different type of workout from the other and will make you a more well-rounded martial artist. Each art deals with the different ranges of a self defense situation - Striking, Grappling and Weapons.
