Self-Defense Classes
Learn to protect and defend yourself from aggressive kids at school or anywhere else. We’ll teach you kickboxing techniques, control holds and ground fighting techniques. Consequently you will not be brought to the ground, you’ll know how to defend yourself, and you have self-confidence like you’ve never had before!
Sensei David Hallford
David Hallford began studying Shotokan Karate at age 16 and holds the rank of Shodan (black belt). After years of studying various styles, David is now focused on training students to be ‘street ready’. These self-defense techniques can be taught to untrained students. In addition, they can be grasped in hours vs. months and are immediately usable.
FEATURED CLASSES
What is American Jeetsu?
American Jeetsu (AJ) is the first martial art created specifically for self-defense against criminals, not enemy military. Where military combatants start with lethal force and work backwards, AJ starts with minimum force and works forward.
AJ is based on the fact that most confrontational situations require controlling rather than lethal force. Therefore, AJ is composed of graduating levels of force: Defense against strikes, control holds based on balance, leverage and joint locks, and combative strikes.
Students of AJ are educated in the legalities of self-defense and legal use of force, similar to what police officers are taught. AJ students are taught when controlling force is called for and when lethal force is called for.
An AJ student is prepared to win the battle in court after winning the battle on the street.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Rich Nance
David is an exceptional martial artist, who is constantly striving to improve, even after decades of hardcore training. He understands what works under pressure and is able transfer this knowledge to his students. From understanding how the bad guy thinks, to avoidance and de-escalating tactics, to going “hands on” using an effective and legally defensible strategy, you’d be hard pressed to find a better teacher. I can’t recommend David Highly enough!

I have never done any form of martial arts or self-defense in my life before July 2020, but the Jeetsu instructor and members have quickly welcomed me into their folds! There are classes for different skill levels so both beginners and experienced students can hone their skill here. The instructor is excellent at making sure new members learn the correct form and technique safely.
J.D.
I feel so much more confident in myself not just in protecting myself but also in overall self-esteem. And I cannot tell you how many times I have gone to a gym after work, stressed and agitated but after attending a Sensei David’s class, that all disappears after a few punches and kicks. Feels amazing!
