Strike RIGHT (Range Independent Grapples, Hits, and Takedowns) classes offer a unique, casual atmosphere for adults to learn self-defense techniques applicable to real life. Strike RIGHT emphasizes a blend of martial arts to give you the tools to engage in any scenario against all attacks. Strike RIGHT combines elements of Filipino martial arts, Taekwondo, kickboxing, and Jiu-jitsu to deal with armed and unarmed attackers and neutralize them.

Don’t settle for a plain old self-defense course, learn to Strike RIGHT!

What will you learn in Strike RIGHT?

  • Punching and kicking techniques
  • Escapes from common grabs and attacks
  • Basics of attacking with and defending knife and short stick attacks, the two most common weapons you could face
  • Throwing and sweeping techniques to put your attacker on the ground
  • Submission techniques to guarantee the attacker is subdued

What does it all look like? Here’s an example of a Strike RIGHT student attacked with a knife executing a defense, knife strip, shoulder hold, takedown of the opponent’s knee, ground control, and finishing with a rear choke. This technique moves from longer range knife defense to a close range takedown and all the way to the ground. The technique doesn’t end until the attacker is neutralized, in this case via a choke.
