People often ask, “What is the difference between the different martial arts you offer?” Although that can require a lengthy answer, below are brief descriptions of the arts that we teach. Keep in mind that all these arts can be highly effective. You simply should choose the art(s) that are right for you. No matter which art you choose, know that our dojo fosters an inclusive environment where students of all ages and skill levels come together to learn, grow, and achieve their personal best.
Aikido, often referred to as the "art of harmonizing with energy," is a Japanese martial art that seamlessly blends power and movement to create a unique and captivating self-defense practice.
At Aikido Masters Self Defense Academy, we embrace the philosophy that Aikido is not merely a set of techniques but a way of life that cultivates harmony and balance both on and off the mat. Rooted in the ancient traditions of Japan, Aikido focuses on redirecting an opponent's energy rather than meeting force with force. This makes it a perfect martial art for individuals of all ages and physical abilities.
Aikido techniques emphasize joint locks, throws, and pins, providing a non-aggressive yet highly effective means of self-defense. As you progress in your Aikido training, you'll find that the principles learned on the mat seamlessly translate into your everyday life, fostering a sense of mindfulness, patience, and respect. Our experienced and dedicated instructors will guide you through the fluid and circular movements of Aikido, teaching you how to use an opponent's momentum to your advantage.
If you’re seeking a dynamic martial art that seamlessly blends powerful strikes, fluid movements, and effective self-defense techniques, Kempo Karate is the perfect fit for you.
Kempo Karate, with its roots deeply embedded in both Chinese and Japanese martial traditions, is a versatile and comprehensive martial art. At our dojo, we’ve crafted a curriculum that not only teaches you the art of striking and blocking but also cultivates mental fortitude, self-confidence, and a profound sense of respect.
Our expert instructors bring a wealth of experience and passion to every class, guiding you through the intricacies of Kempo Karate with enthusiasm and dedication. With explosive punches and kicks to strategic blocks, kata, and even weapons training, our curriculum empowers you with the skills necessary to effectively defend yourself.
Historically, Jujutsu (also spelled Jujitsu) was one of the unarmed arts of the Samurai. So, if you're intrigued by a martial art that emphasizes finesse over brute force, dynamic throws, leg sweeps, and effective ground control, then Japanese Jujutsu is the perfect choice for you.
At Aikido Masters Self Defense Academy, Japanese Jujutsu is not just a physical discipline; it's an art form that empowers individuals with the knowledge of leveraging an opponent's strength to their advantage. David Nemeroff Soke-Dai will guide you through a curriculum steeped in centuries-old samurai tradition, providing you with the tools to defend yourself in various situations while promoting mental sharpness and pliability.
Japanese Jujutsu is known for its practicality and adaptability, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. What sets our Japanese Jujutsu program apart is the emphasis on real-world application by learning how to break an attacker’s balance, uproot them, and take them down with a throw or lock. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced martial artist, David Nemeroff Soke-Dai will work with you to refine your techniques, improve your physical conditioning, and enhance your overall understanding of this versatile martial art.
