Clark's Self Defense
Through Martial Arts training children and adults gain physical and mental strength and build confidence, self esteem and self respect. Its great for the entire family! Children will learn Kempo Karate that includes the traditional stances, blocks, strikes, and kicks. This style also encompasses Forms, or Katas, Sparring and Okinawan weapons.

In addition to Kempo Karate children also learn grappling, jujitsu and escapes from various grabs, chokes, and holds. The adult classes provide basic Kempo Karate training but focus more on the self defense, grappling, and jujitsu. It also incorporates joint manauvers and pressure point techniques for a well rounded training.

My daughter had her first tournament with Clark’s Self Defense this past Friday and I was blown away! Every one of the kids were smiling, having fun and really enjoying themselves. You could see the dedication and talent from each one. I was extremely pleased with the care that both Derek and Magda showed towards the kids, it’s obvious that they love what they do! Overall wonderful experience and I will be looking into classes for myself. Thank you!

I reached out to Clark’s Self Defense about planning a “ladies night” self defense class. I received a quick response back from Derrick Clark, who was great about communicating as needed to the day of our class . We had excellent instruction in self defense, with attentive instructors and very hands on learning so that we will be more confident. We also had a great time! We will be back! Thank you!

We had a class tonight at Arium on Palmer Ranch. It was very worthwhile and well done!
It’s sort like a CPR class. Everyone needs to be taught this.....instead of just standing there and not knowing what to do. Thank You!

Our family enjoys attending classes at Clark's Self Defense. We find the training by Sensei Clark to be exceptional! This studio is owned and operated by a friendly husband and wife team. They can also pick-up directly from school. I would highly recommend it if you're considering self-defense training, multi-discipline martial arts training, or simply after school exercise and motivation!

Master Sensei Clark is a gifted teacher. He works with people of all ages. He has a special knack of being able to connect with each child in the youth classes and bring out the unique best in each one. The adult classes are fun for the adults and even though the business is billed as self-defense, there are many more dynamic aspects of the training. Sensei Magda Clark is always behind the scenes, and sometimes out in front, making sure everything is running smoothly for the community. I highly recommend Clark's Self Defense if you are looking for fitness, fun and a challenge.
