Yes, every martial arts school out there likes to tout their particular discipline as a solution to self defense. The techniques taught at Ronin Self Defense Academy turns all of that on its head. If I have a need TODAY to learn self defense techniques, I need to learn those techniques TODAY (or as soon as possible). I'm not interested in waiting several years, wearing pajama-like uniforms, or competing in sporting events only to master techniques that may or may not work outside of a boxing ring or martial arts mat. I need to master reality-based self defense techniques that work in the real world, and I need to be able to master them ASAP. Ronin Self Defense Academy provides EXACTLY that. If you want to be able to master self defense techniques in MONTHS and not YEARS that work in the real world, I can't recommend Ronin Self Defense Academy more.

Damon was easy to talk to, listened intently to our questions and answered them thoroughly with real life examples. I hope I never have to use these newly acquired skills but I know if I'm ever put in a life-threatening situation, I'll be prepared. I HIGHLY recommend his class! I can't wait to take the next one!

I have been in and around martial arts my whole life. I have trained in various styles such as;…read moreShotokan, Judo, Moo Duk Kwon, Tong Soo Do and now Tae Kwon Do. I never really felt at home anywhere until I met the instructors at Hwang Martial Arts. Our family wanted to start but we did not have much money to spend. Their plans were the most reasonable around. I quickly found out that at Hwang Martial Arts it is not just another self defense school; it is a life changing experience! They teach that it is not just about self defense, but that it is about a change in how you live your life and act on a day to day bases. Furthermore, they are an integral part of all their students' lives. It does not matter whether your favorite is Mr. Chris, Mrs. Stacy, Mr. Weeks or Mr. Hall because they all have true interests in their student's lifestyle and health. Over the past 3 years my children have grown and learned that martial arts' training is about oneself, their achievements, both in class and in public school. Because the business is a family owned and operated we have grown to be good friends with the Weeks' and all the other instructors there. I would not trust my family and especially my kids with anyone else. There is no doubt in my mind that joining here has made a huge positive impact on our lives! Scott Stephenson

I had a membership to a gym right next to Hwang Martial Arts and passed by it every day, not certain of whether we could just go in. Finally, we visited them. My boys were very interested and I was unsure. When we sat down and discussed this, I found Hwang Martial Arts to be very affordable. Not only that, but my children had no male role model in their lives at all. Now they have incredible male teachers, who demand respect, but at the same time, give positive motivation, teaching the kids the most important principals of being a solid person. Not only did my kids take advantage of Tae Kwon Do, but I attended the Muay Thai classes for fun and exercise. I had no idea that Mr. Weeks and Mr. Hall would change my perspective completely on physical fitness and how much my mind, body and spirit require physical exercise. My confidence level was very low when we started and I didn't see anything extraordinary about myself. All of that has changed drastically in just a year. Now, when I talk about my life, about fighting techniques and working out, people are very intrigued. My passion and zeal for life have skyrocketed. I went from being another single mom to being an extraordinary, tough woman nicknamed "Killer". I've lost a lot of fear in going places with my children, and gained a lot of confidence in my ability to defend my family in an aggressive situation. In short, just going to these classes has changed my entire life. It opened me up to receive positive things that I believe are coming to me because of my increased confidence level and better perspective. Such a small step, but what a huge difference it has made in the quality of our lives! The Longs Joy, Bethani, Garrett and Jeffri Reilly
