Self Defense Classes at MA Fitness

The self-defense system we offer is simple to learn and highly effective. It focuses on basic defensive techniques that are easy to remember and retain. In this class, you’ll learn how to recognize pre-contact cues, manage your distance, defensive framing, and to defend yourself against punches, chokes, grabs, and strikes. We also cover abduction prevention techniques in level 1. The Weapon Brand self-defense system is the brainchild of Brian Anderson-Needham, who created the program and taught it for over 20 years, specifically for law enforcement, parole, and corrections agencies in Ohio. The success of the program has been recognized by other state agencies, who continue to purchase it for the training of their own use. It combines the most effective techniques from nine different martial arts styles, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, and more. Unlike flashy Instagram videos that may not be practical or accessible in real-life situations, we teach simple yet effective techniques that you can learn and use to defend yourself within just two hours. Our goal is to empower you to become your own weapon and take action to protect yourself in any situation.
