Adult Programs
Academy of Self Defense (ASD) combines techniques and principles from a variety of Martial Arts styles including Karate, Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Aikido, Tae Kwon Do, Shoalin Kung fu, and weapons which provide our students with a well-balanced, "street smart" self-defense system. Most other styles of martial arts tend to focus on individual areas of self-defense. Combining the best of many styles into a blended system gives ASD students the ability to protect themselves in virtually any situation.
As with all our programs, physical benefits are matched by equally powerful mental advantages. The indomitable spirit of the committed martial artist pays huge dividends in the business world. Professionals from all walks of life recognize that strengthening their focus and perseverance gives them a huge competitive edge.
The benefits of martial arts extend to parenting as well. Understanding and modeling respect and self-discipline helps children develop these attributes. And parents that benefit from the mental balance of the martial arts mindset are better equipped to deal with the challenges and stress that come with raising even the best of children.
But is it a good workout? Our program is a total fitness package combining strength, endurance and flexibility. We incorporate the latest exercise physiology, which assists in the development of all your muscular systems, building greater strength and definition. You get excellent cardiovascular conditioning, expanding your heart and lung capacity while you burn off calories. The result is a tremendous increase in energy and stamina to take on whatever comes your way. Each class also includes a variety of stretching exercises that help you to avoid injuries and keep you feeling young and agile.
Get in the best shape of your life, by working out with a purpose. Take control of your mind, body and emotions. Never be a victim, physically or emotionally. Learn highly effective and powerful self-defense skills in a fun, friendly environment.

“We really enjoy our martial arts classes. It is good exercise and besides being a good stress reliever, I know that I am learning defense techniques that will be beneficial in the event of an emergency. There is something for our entire family to participate in from the youngest, who is 7, to the oldest, who is 54. Male or female, we all enjoy our training! Several of us have had training before, and speaking from that perspective, Mr. Matheny is an excellent instructor that I am proud to call “my sensei”. Mr. Matheny and his wife, Renee made us feel like part of this dojo family from the very first day.”
