Self-Defense

Self-Defense Classes in Bremerton & Port Orchard

Self-defense is a skill you build over time, and at Shaolin Mixed Martial Arts (SMMA) you build it by training. Our classes teach striking, grappling and movement principles from several arts so you can develop awareness, confidence and practical skills. Beginners are welcome.

Who it's for

Adults, teens and kids can all find a place to start. Children can join our Juniors program for ages 5.5–14: Juniors Mixed Martial Arts in Bremerton and Juniors BJJ in Port Orchard. If you are new to martial arts, tell us when you book and we will help you find the right first class.

What to expect

Classes combine instruction, drilling with training partners and conditioning. You do not need experience. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in; we will walk you through the rest at your first class.

Self-defense training builds skills and awareness; it cannot guarantee any outcome in a real situation.
