Jedi Training Academy a Success!

Thank you to everyone who attended our first Jedi Training Academy, led by Jedi Master Jay Haynes! The kids built their own light sabers and learned safe & fun laser sword techniques. We had such a blast and hope to see all our new friends again soon.

TDMA Celebrates Three Years in Business

Yesterday, our members held a luncheon celebrating Total Defense’s third year in business. Thank you to everyone who attended and who has supported us. Leigh Armentrout created this beautiful cake.

Have you been thinking about trying it out? Total Defense Martial Arts teaches you a “total” defensive system: Filipino martial arts for distance, American boxing for medium range, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for up close and on the ground — a great skill set for all men and women, aged 6 and up. Come try a free week on us!
