Adult Self-Defense Classes & Schedule
Dynamic Self Defense is a system of natural, easy-to-learn movements designed to allow individuals of any age or size to realistically defend themselves against larger attackers.
We offer practical self-defense skills designed to work in real life situations - not fancy, complicated moves designed for tournaments or based solely on art form. We also cover all ranges of self-defense, including ground defenses.
Through our 100% self-defense based curriculum, adults learn how to defend against multiple attackers, escape from blind attacks, defending from ground positions, disarming and negating common weapon attacks as well as grabs and holds.
We don't emphasize competing in tournaments or competitive free sparring. Instead, we utilize a unique system of drills proven in military and police training to develop conditioning and reflexes, and apply them to street-realistic scenarios. This results in more effective self defense training, more positive attitudes, and helps minimize the chance of accidental injuries.

Dynamic Self Defense Is Practical Personified...
- Dynamic Balance - Our stances give much greater mobility to adapt to fast changing street defense situations.
- Economy of Motion - Using one motion to block instead of two separate motions - e.g. The traditional practice of crossing the arms before a block.
- Continuity of Motion - Using the momentum from one movement to help in the performance of the next. This is achieved in Dynamic Self Defense by using flowing, rounded motions that flow together naturally. This eliminates wasted movement and increases the speed of combinations necessary for effective self-defense. This also gives a better aerobic work out than the traditional stop-and-go type of training.
-
Maximum Impact Forces - Generated by combining three essential elements: 1) Sequential movement of the body. This occurs when the movement of one body part precedes the next, generating maximum velocity in the punch or kick. 2) Shifting the body weight forward to maximize the weight behind the impact. 3) Adding a full follow-through to impart the maximum kinetic energy to the target.
- No Lock-Out Movements - The traditional practice of locking-out kicks and punches limits follow through and impact. It also causes injury, as previously explained.
- Minimized Risk of Injury - We examine all techniques to make sure they are physiologically sound. For example, we use the back or inner forearm for blocking techniques verses the common traditional practice of using the bony outer or inner edge of the forearm. This puts the arm in a mechanically stronger position. Any impact force would be absorbed by both forearm bones, and padded by muscle. Many traditional blocks risk taking the entire force on a single, unprotected forearm bone.
- Many traditional martial arts techniques are ineffective for self-defense. Likewise, many traditional teaching methods are also ineffective.
