Our Martial Arts program is one of the most exciting and informative self defense programs for women and kids in the Charlotte area! Utilizing the DTTS (Don't Talk To Strangers) Self Defense program which was founded by the Master Instructor Mark Slocum in 1995, many parents have discovered that a good portion of today's Martial Art Instructors have lost the passion to teach and are focusing more on financial empowerment. As Sensei Mark's 16+ years of teachings (10+ years of competition fighting and weaponry) are combined with those of his Masters in Karate and Kungfu, the foundation of this program is solid and educational for everyone!

 

Before considering our classes, please keep in mind our teachings are designed to prevent confrontations by training students initially how "not to fight" exemplifying passiveness. However, if the situation arises where it is necessary to utilize your Martial Art skills, you are without a doubt prepared to defend yourself effectively. Therefore the environment to which we train is to be polite to everyone, treating all equally with the utmost respect regardless of their background, creed, religion, nationality or gender.

Our teachings are guaranteed to be genuine for your personal improvement regardless of your motive for taking Martial Arts. This fun and unique program has proven to be a valued asset to hundreds of women and kids who are interested in learning what it takes to build the confidence to use Self Defense in "real life" situations as well as enhancing your body performance.

Being able to defend yourself against an adult if you are a kid???? How is that possible? Well, within our DTTS Self Defense Program our students learn street smarts and school smarts as well as techniques on how to protect themselves against strangers who just can't take "no" for an answer. The real life training prepares our students to better react if an unfortunate situation does in fact occur.

 

With over 600 students (and growing) who have been trained or are currently utilizing this program, the awesome advantages are used to promote development in character and Self Defense as well as other areas of life such as school, sports, entertainment and work. Learning teamwork, respect, balance, coordination, strength, discipline and much much more is our key focus.
