Martial Arts Training Group in Redding, CA

Update: Please see our “Contact” link at the top of the page to contact us about training/lessons.

Many people are finding this site when they respond to some local postings about training in the Redding area. About a dozen people are currently training, with more inquiring every day. Everyone’s welcome to train, regardless of their experience level. This includes empty hands, various training weapons, and so on. We only ask that you be a legal adult of 18 or older, or you’re otherwise accompanied by a parent or guardian. We train safely, but realistically, so it’s probably not as good fit for non adults that aren’t at least 16 or so, just in case there’s that small chance of injury. Above all, safety and responsibility are paramount. In other words, we’re not just training to grapple in gi’s and tap out. Ground is part of any good system, but we train with realism in mind and it’s not really geared towards children or sport, though many things can certainly cross over well between sport and self defense aspects.
