DEFEND YOURSELF IN ALL SITUATIONS?
You feel vulnerable and want to defend yourself and your family.
You want an intense workout that builds muscle and increases dexterity.
You want the self-esteem boost that comes with knowing you can fight.
THE DANGERS OF THE WORLD ARE ENDLESS
The classes are focused on personal safety, awareness training, handgun disarms, and quick, effective immobilization of the attacker so that you can safely and quickly exit the situation.
YOU WILL GROW WITH EVERY CLASS!
Our Self Defense classes teach you how to defend yourself by building on your body’s natural reactions to being attacked and giving you the tools – and the strength – to disarm and defeat your opponents. As you train, you’ll build stamina and hone your reflexes until you are a fighting machine.
DEFEND YOURSELF IN ANY SITUATION
There are no belts, ranks, equipment, or uniforms associated with this program. The techniques taught are designed to be effective while wearing every day clothing, thus, participants are encouraged to arrive in regular clothing.
SELF DEFENSE CLASSES ARE A KILLER WORKOUT
It can be hard to get a great workout without someone to push you. If you want to be a total badass, the treadmill isn’t going to get you there.
Self Defense classes are intense…but FUN! Repetitive kicking and punching burn a ton of calories, and performing under pressure requires mental and physical toughness. You’ll use every muscle.
Whether you want to lose weight or just get in the best physical shape of your life, our Self Defense classes can help you do it.
PRACTICAL SELF-DEFENSE AT ITS BEST
Students learn about attacker psychology, how to verbally end dangerous situations, the power of emotion and keys to fight psychology.
One of the hardest things about learning self-defense is overcoming your natural instincts to learn new moves.
The techniques we teach work with those instincts – such as bringing your hands up to protect your face – and turns them into powerful moves that allow you to defend yourself and drive attackers away.
You’ll learn to use the tools you have and combine them with traditional martial arts and other forms of fighting.
RELIEVE STRESS AND ANXIETY
We all have to deal with stress and anxiety in our lives – from work, family, and everything else. You need to have a healthy outlet for it to stay healthy.
Our Self Defense classes banish stress by burning it off. When you’re working out, you need to give over your body and mind to the process. There’s no room for worrying.
By the time you’re done working out, you’ll be flooded with endorphins and feeling a serious sense of accomplishment – and your stress will be under control.

My daughter has been a student here for 8+ years, and I have been a student myself for 2.5 years. I have found WFMA to be top-notch with a tremendous focus on consistent personal improvement. I’m happy to be here.

My entire family earned black belts at West Family Martial Arts, my two boys in 2013 and my wife and I in 2014. Master West is a dedicated and phenomenal instructor who helped my wife and I earn our black belts in our mid-40’s and our boys who were age 10 and 13 at the time. The improved self-control and confidence I observed in my boys is very much attributable to what they learned under Master West. While the experience wasn’t ‘easy’ it was most definitely worth it! I highly recommend and encourage anyone interested in Tae Kwon Do to check out West Family Martial Arts. PS – The adult class is super fun and a great group of people!

My daughter and I absolutely LOVE West Family Martial Arts! The classes are always challenging and fun! Unlike some other marital arts studios I have checked out, Master West teaches all of the classes himself! He truly cares about each of his students and knows them ALL by name! He places the emphasis on learning each skill correctly and then getting better and faster at it. This reduces the likelihood of injuries occurring. I am 47 years old and had bad knees from playing soccer for 20 years. I joined West Family Martial Arts about 20 months ago and my knees haven’t hurt one bit! Thank you Master West!!
