THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR PROGRAM

DISCIPLINE
The martial arts and self-defense courses offered at Dan's Martial Arts Center are fundamentally based on discipline. Our instructors focus on teaching students to successfully achieve their goals and maintain self control by following our core rules and values and adhering to a specific training regimen; helping them to more efficiently achieve their dreams.

HONESTY
We stress that speaking and acting truthfully is more than not lying, deceiving or cheating. Is it about showing respeect toward others and having integrity and self awareness. Whenever utilizing self defense techniques your actions have tangible consequences. Being honest with yourself and others is paramount to knowing the right time to utilize them.

INTEGRITY
There is a fine line between self-defense and being a bully. Our classroom environment prides itself on putting integrity above all things and understanding that line. Integrity is doing the right thing when you know you’re not being watched and knowing you’ll never get caught. The character of our classes is built on strong moral and ethical principles.

We expect our students to treat others with respect both within and outside of the classroom. Treating others the way they would want to be treated.
