NOT SURE WHAT OUR STYLE OF MARTIAL ARTS IS?
Life Ki-do Martial Arts!
If you are relatively new to us, you may not be fully aware of the martial arts style we teach.
Our award-winning martial arts system is a unique blend developed by our founder Sensei Jonathan.
Our Life Ki-do curriculum is based on the Russian Art of Systema, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Karate, Tai Chi and Qigong and self-defense training.
Of course, every class uses the medium of martial arts to teach valuable life skills from our Tools for Life system.
Over the past 24+ years our martial arts program has become renowned for its unique quality of being both nurturing and empowering as well being safe and lots of fun!

WHEN DOES MY CHILD DO SPARRING? - How do I know when to bring our gear?
Sparring only occurs at Samurai Intermediate level (and above) and sparring gear is needed two weeks in every month.
Every week our curriculum rotates so gear is required the week we focus on sparring as well as during testing week which incorporates all aspects of our curriculum.
You can always check the calendar on our bulletin board to see when we're doing what at Samurai and below levels. Alternately we do have it available online on our website.
If it's not a sparring week or testing week, your child will not need gear in any Samurai class.
Adults should bring sparring gear to every class as we do not follow the same curriculum calendar.
