Self Defense
Modern Self-Defense for Today's Challenges

Contemporary Martial Arts: Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga & Kenpo
However, systems like Krav Maga, Kenpo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sometimes overlook key techniques and practices found in traditional Kung-Fu that are essential for producing a well-rounded, fully capable martial artist. For example, how would a submission grappler handle a multiple-attacker situation or an armed assailant? Would a student trained in Muay Thai, Karate, or Boxing be able to defend themselves on the ground, or would they be helpless against a grappler?
These are important considerations, and yet another reason why training at White Dragon offers a unique and comprehensive martial arts experience.
