Shepherd-Warrior Martial Arts
Shepherd-Warrior Martial Arts was established in 2002. We teach martial arts and self-defense classes from a Christian perspective to people ages 5 and up. We provide both long-term, weekly training as well as short-term, seminar style classes for people from all walks of life. We are currently providing both live and online classes and training for our students.

We offer our students a wide range of styles and arts in which to train. From Taekwondo and Kung Fu, to Ju Jitsu, Eskrima and Krav Maga, you will be taught by professionals that know and understand what works and can help you achieve your goals. Martial Arts is much more than just kicking and punching!
Services
We began in 2002 as Billings Chi-Tu Do inside West Park Plaza. After a few years, and a few locations, we ended up at our current space in the Albertsons shopping center at 13th Street West & Grand Avenue in Billings. Then, in 2016, we decided to change the name of the school to Shepherd-Warrior Martial Arts to more accurately reflect the "heart" or philosophy of what we teach and Whom we represent.
Getting started is as easy as 1-2-3! 1 - Schedule a Virtual Appointment - We'll call you to walk you though how to access our online training platform and schedule your first Introductory lesson. We'll teach you some basics and get you ready for the group classes.

2 - Start Training - Our program offers twice-weekly live video classes, access to technique training videos on our private Facebook group, and weekly positive messages for both kids and adults.3 - See Growth - Over time confidence, perseverance, focus, self discipline & fitness will increase! By checking this box, you are giving us permission to contact you regarding this 4 week virtual program.
First of all, I want to thank you for enrolling your children with us. The level of trust you place in us to help you guide and direct their futures is staggering. We understand that raising children is not an easy task, especially when the environment is not conducive to their optimum learning. You work hard at home to provide them with the best possible atmosphere to be successful in their schoolwork and other activities.
It is extremely important for us to make sure that we, not only teach great martial arts and self-defense skills, but that we also help each of our students learn more within their walk with God. In this regard, we feel that helping our students build their character to be more Christ-like is so much more important than teaching them to punch and kick.
New Students - please download the appropriate Student Handbook for your class. Parents, please take some time and go through the Handbook with your child to make sure that you both are aware of the rules and requirements for class and promotion. The last 2 pages of the handbook need to be filled out and returned to your child's instructor.

My son and I have had the most amazing experience with this martial arts studio I couldn't ask for a better group of people to be taught by and train with.

While watching my boys juniors class Mrs. Dunaway teaches, I was impressed with Master Forleo when he gave attention and care to some students. They had to miss quite a few classes and weren't familiar with the moves learned during that time. He knelt down to be on their level and gave them the one-on-one attention and assisted them with the new moves so they weren't left behind.
Shepherd Warrior Martial Arts doesn't just teach self-defence, they teach discipline, confidence, obedience and more in a Christ-centered way. In each class they have prayer, the pledge of allegiance and reciting the

SWMA is not just about studying martial arts, it's also about developing an individual's character. This mixture of training is ideal for our family and is what we seek when looking for martial arts training for our kids. My kiddo has been attending this dojo for quite a while now and absolutely loves it! Some of his favorite things about SWMA [In the interest of space, I'll have to summarize, ha!]: Master Forleo, class atmosphere, character development, his classmates.

This is one of the most valuable places I have studied. Every class is something new. Even if the information is a review there is always something that can be tweaked. I took several years off but when I came back it was like riding a bike. I never truly forgot the information it just got buried. Thank you Dennis and Staff.
