​Every day in the United States, an estimated 150,000 kids miss school due to fear or intimidation. At the Self Defense Academy, we don't just teach martial arts; we provide Education for Life.

​

1. Real-World Bullyproofing

Statistics suggest that less than 15% of kids report bullying. We provide our young students with the most powerful defensive skills so they have the courage to stand up for themselves. By focusing on the Valente Brothers method—jiu-jitsu exclusively for self-defense—we ensure your child can neutralize a threat without resorting to unnecessary violence.

​

2. Laser-Like Focus

Our unique teaching methodology is designed to engage visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learners. Through skill-oriented games and dynamic interaction, we help children harness their energy and improve their focus. This mental sharpness carries off the mats and into the classroom, helping them stay on task and excel in school.

 

3. Unshakable Discipline

Using the 753 Code, we assist students in developing the discipline, respect, and patience needed to live a balanced life. We believe a good self-image is the basis of a happy child. This isn't just about "behaving"; it’s about the self-discipline to make the right choices when no one is watching.
