EP Martial Arts was started by three friends searching for a better place to train and share their passion for martial arts with their community! Bart Axelrod met Ty Wesley when he was teaching at the Seekonk YMCA 12 years ago. Bart immediately liked Ty and was very impressed with his skills and teaching ability.
Krav Maga means "contact combat" in Hebrew. It is a general term used by the Israeli Defense Forces to describe a self defense system based on Imi Litchenfifeld's principles of self defense. Originally designed to train new recruits in the Israeli army, Krav Maga has been adapted. Sanda is a modern Chinese hand-to-hand combat self-defense system and combat sport.

I came for the Krav Maga classes and I've also given BJJ and Sanshou a try. I'm a beginner and from the start, I've felt welcomed by the instructors as well each and every member. All of the instructors are excellent and I've been enjoying the small class sizes and the individualized instruction that comes along with that.

I couldn't recommend more highly!

Ty and Bart have a great school which truly wants to help you get stronger, faster and more well rounded as a martial artist.

The Krav Maga program is very effective for defense against weapons, unarmed attackers and multiple attackers. It will definitely help you feel more street safe.
