Danny Dring Living Defense Martial Arts

Living Defense Martial Arts was founded by Master Danny Dring in Sherwood, Arkansas. It was Master Dring's foresight into the evolution of martial arts that led him to cross train in arts such as boxing, Muay Thai and Brazilin Jiu-jitsu before cross training became the norm it is today.

This forward thinking combined with a true passion for helping people achieve their goals in all aspects of the martial arts in a fun, safe and family friendly environment has allowed LDMA to enjoy continued success in the same location for the past 25 years.With high level instruction in Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA, and Weeping Style Jujutsu we are dedicated to meeting all of your individual needs.

Our kids living defense martial arts program will instill confidence, discipline, and respect while having fun and keeping them active. The Little Dragons class at LDMA is designed to ease our 3-5 year olds students into our Taekwondo program by teaching them the basic stances and techniques while working with them on their flexibility, coordination and balance.

Danny Dring's Living Defense Martial Arts system is the perfect combination of striking, grappling, and self-defense for adults. The benefits of our adult Taekwondo class range from a great workout both physically and mentally, improved flexibility and greater self confidence.

After a warm up of jump rope and stretching students will then work specific kicking or self defense techniques demonstrated by the instructor or will spend their class time working on their patterns (a preset series of movements designed to mimic a combat situation).The Taekwondo class blends aspects of Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in order to achieve well rounded Black Belts.

Classes jam packed with fat blasting, upbeat, enegetic workouts that get you in shape fast. Punch and kick yourself to a better body! If you are looking for an intense workout, training for competition in the ring or simply want a fun way to relive stress from the normal ups and downs of life than look no further.
