What we’re about
The purpose of this group is to bring together people to train in self-defense and/or martial arts using the most practical and effective techniques from both Aikido and Karate. The techniques are based on real-world, modern situations and study the application of traditional teaching in actual self-defense situations. Anyone who has ever wanted to study martial arts, take a self-defense class, or just curious about martial arts and/or self-defense and how it applies to them should join the group. This group meets at Wakefield United Methodist Church every Thursday evening at 6:30 PM until 8:00 PM (excluding any holidays). At each of our sessions we study various aspects of self-defense, studying actual martial arts techniques as well as ways to avoid and deal with various forms of physical confrontation.
