Gendai Goshin Jitsu is a self-defense art focused primarily on teaching realistic self-defense skills to people of all ages. Children are able to develop both the physical and mental skills to cope with their life challenges including bullies and worse – predators such as child abductors. For women, the concerns are more obvious and they are welcome to participate in the open adult class or attend the women only class. All our students will learn simple physiological and psychological principles of dealing with realistic, threatening situations. Every principle and technique taught is thoroughly scrutinized to insure its effectiveness under realistic and dynamic street conditions. We believe “how one trains is how one reacts.” At Gendai Martial Arts, we combine experience with proven concepts and techniques derived from karate, ju jitsu, judo, aikido, kempo, goshin jitsu, wrestling and weapons. And, we constantly strive to improve what we know and teach.
Some of the benefits from our self-defense classes are:
less intimidated by other people or situations
increased self-esteem and assertiveness
greater confidence
improved leadership skills
improved ability to communicate clearly and directly
increased problem solving skills
increased focus and effectiveness at work
the ability to remain calm and use clearheaded thinking during stress or crisis
