Testimonial:
“The reason I began studying Gendai Martial Arts was basically to learn to defend myself on the street. Even being a former MMA competitor, I realized there is a huge difference between sport fighting and fighting to defend your life. I knew I could fare well in a ring, with rules and some safety equipment, but I had doubts that some of the techniques I was taught before would work in the street or against a weapon. I began working out at Gendai Martial Arts and am very pleased with what I've learned. We work on defending against armed and unarmed attackers, multiple attackers, the use of weapons for our defense and you'll also learn the legal ramifications of fighting and what is a justified defense according to North Carolina law. If you have no previous experience, Gendai Martial Arts can teach you simple techniques to control the situation and if you are a seasoned martial artist, they can sharpen what skills you have to make you a more complete fighter. I urge you to try a few classes and see for yourself. It's not your typical martial arts school!”

“Gendai Martial Arts has helped me build confidence in self-defense. Having studied "Americanized" martial arts prior to entering Gendai, I can say that the other art form was not beneficial. Whereas it did teach discipline to a degree, it did not teach defense from a real attacker. Basic blocks and punches are not effective on the street. The defense at Gendai teaches me how to use my strengths as a woman to defend myself in case of an attack. It is about learning to survive an attack; not about attacking."
