With the proliferation of martial arts dojos, self defense academies, and MMA gyms out there today, it can be difficult to find a serious learning environment that is conducive to legitimate self-defense training. Some schools focus more on the art aspect of martial arts and fail to address the violent nature of self-defense situations. Others teach more practical techniques but only in a sporting context, and dont cover scenarios involving weapons or multiple attackers.Kenpo Richmond provides a serious training environment that teaches practical self-defense and enables each individual to develop their own style suited to their unique attributes and abilities. Class sizes are small, so each person receives ample attention from instructors. The emphasis is on real world self-defense scenarios (bar fight situations, attempted robberies, multiple attackers, weapons, etc.). All techniques taught are simple and realistic--no BS allowed.The bottom line is this: if you are serious about learning how to realistically defend yourself with practical movements and techniques, Kenpo Richmond is the place for you.
