Instructors and Administrators of DTTS
All DTTS Instructors are members certified by a 5th Degree Master Instructor (Mark Slocum) who enforces all to follow the teachings of fighting only as a last resort. Students of the DTTS' Self Defense program are trained how and when to utilize their skills since the first step of Defense is to avoid a confrontation if at all possible. If the time arises for one to defend themselves, then he/she have been trained professionally and realistically to utilize the necessary skill necessary for combat.
| Our Style of Martial Arts |

The combined Arts of Karate (American TKD), Kungfu & Muay Thai
Our style of Martial Arts is one that combines multiple forms to create a unique blend of Self Defense which has proven to be very effective in the preparation and awareness of "would be" attackers who just won't take no for an answer.
From the "real" street style of Self Defense, the deceptiveness of Kungfu and the dangerous strikes of Muay Thai, your training will be very versatile and exciting. Designed to be educational and fun as well as informative and interesting, expect excitement as you train in a never boring environment yet productive and successful environment.

| Student Testing |
In DTTS we evaluate, test and promote according to the student's performance and knowledge instead of simply promoting based on the length of time spent in a certain belt rank. Master Sensei Mark feels you have to mature in each level as well as understanding when to use your Self Defense and when not to. Additionally, conditioning the mind with the foundation of passiveness yet aggressiveness when needed is a requirement for all students progressing through the DTTS ranks.
