Traditional martial arts at its finest. Ive been searching for an Dojo that was more about the experience and the life lessons that martial arts teaches,this is where it is located.This has been perfect for me and my sometimes hectic life (College/Job) This system has given me the opportunity to grow not only as a person,but has also helped me transcend from a practitioner of martial art, to an actual martial artist.Not your everyday system.You earn everything through blood,sweat,and tears,seriously.I would recommend this system to anyone who wished to make martial arts a lifetime experience.

As an experienced Martial Artist, former State Trooper and current Security officer I know the practical and effective use of self defense. What I didnt know was the limitations I set on my progression and effectiveness. Full Circle Integrated Martial Arts has that practical application and effective self defense that I have been searching for. The training and instruction is well demonstrated and tailored for each individual students needs. With no fixed positions you will learn to adapt and transition the necessary movements to overcome physical confrontation. Knowledge, skill and preparation is what F.C.I.M has offered me along with an understanding of body manipulation and function.

Been training in martial arts on and off since I was 15 trained at quite a few schools in the Richmond area and like most schools today which are mma based or just your regular karate or taekwondo school FCIM gives the spirit of that more traditional base of martial arts with the concepts giving that mental concepts for survival in a real life situation. The instructor Steve is a great teacher who will work with you regardless of skill level and will help you sharpen weaknesses to the best of his knowledge.

If you are interested in martial arts or just looking to learn practical and realistic self defense techniques I would highly recommend trying out your 3 free classes!!!

My name is Herman Tucker im 46 years old, over weight, and not in the greatest shape. My job as a counselor with at risk youth often places me in highly emotional and volitile situations, and one recent session reached a volitile and potentially life threatening situation. A 27 year old male standing 62 and a minimum of 250 pounds became irate due to his inability to manage his anger and a significant history of assaultive behavior, a propensity for violence, as well a past which has included multiple incarnations. This man in the blink of an eye produced a large kitchen knife and without warning began an attempt to cause me severe bodily harm or death. Im not currently or ever been a student of the martial arts and to quite honest was always skeptical of its viability and effectiveness, but ive known Steve for over 20 years as a close and personal friend. One day about 8-9 years ago steve gave me a quick lesson, move, tactic whatever you want to call on how to defend and disarm someone with a knife, it was practical and easy to commit to memory, so i did just that. So when this man attacked me, i instantly and naturally utilized what Steve taught me over the course of a 5 minute lesson 8-9 years ago and not only saved my self from a potentially life threatening injury but subdued him on the ground as well, placed my knee in his back ( thats were that overweight part came in handy) secured his arm ( as taught) and managed to call the police while the guy was subdued. I carry a concealed handgun and to be honest i would have gotten cut if id went for my weapon and the situation would have a horrifically different outcome. No one is dead, injured and the guy was taken into custody ( with a sore back) but im home safe and wanted to say thank you Steve. It goes to show You dont have to be young, fast or in shape to defend yourself. If your thinking about learning martial arts you have found your guyThanks again Steve
