Our topic is Stranger Danger. We will be discussing how to identify and avoid potentially dangerous people. As always we will be using our:
- Brain
- Voice
- Body
- and Feet
, as our main tools to keep ourselves safe from strangers.
These classes can sometimes be emotional for the students and that ok. All of the drills fun and focused. We will be discuss any strong feelings that may come up. Although it could be hard, we will encouraging them to face their fears and participate but, if it is to scary all drills are not mandatory.
Invite your friends to join us for a FREE 90-min Introduction to Martial Arts for Adults!
In this Introductory Class we will explore some fundamental concepts and techniques from some of the greatest influences on the MKG Method:
- Filipino Martial Arts (Kali / Escrima / Arnis)
- Jun Fan Martial Arts (Jeet Kune Do Concepts)
- Muay Thai (Thai Boxing)
This could be their chance to learn and try their hand at basic techniques and drills under the guidance of head instructor Josh Prior, and/or other MKG team members, in an environment that is welcoming, measured, and fun!
They will only need comfortable workout clothes and an open mind. We will haveeverything else they will need.

Everyone is welcome!
Saturday, March 21st – 1:00 – 3:00 pm
During this month’s “Deep Dive Workshop” we are going to be exploring Close Quarters Striking from several perspectives of martial art.
Most systems have answers for striking when things get to close for comfort.
You may never be “comfortable” when you are that close but, this workshop will help you to be more familiar and functional with some tools and tactics that can help you be successful in that range.
