Summit Martial Arts Academy is based on different distances of self defense. We teach the world's top self defense systems, each one deals with a different distance. Here is a list of styles and their emphasized distance, all these styles have evolved over, and just because a style is listed at a certain range doesn't mean they don't practice techniques from other ranges.
Gracie (Brazilian) Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a highly effective self-defense system of ground fighting. It is designed to allow a smaller, weaker person to defend his or her self in a real world situation that goes to the ground. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu does this by the detailed study of correct body mechanics, timing and placement.
What is Real Karate? Is it just for for kids? A sport? A fitness program? Some old fashion exotic hobby? Is it good for self-defense? Depending on who you ask, you'll get many different answers. Regrettable Hollywood reflects a fantasized version, so many people have never even seen authentic Karate.

Our family just did the self defense course. 3 girls and 3 women. It was very informative and extremely helpful in learning basic self defense. We had a wonderful time, we plan on going back for more classes.

My son has been attending Summit martial arts for about 2 years now. Absolutely fantastic atmosphere, great instructors, and no hidden fees. Much better experience than some others in the Delaware area.

I have been at Summit Martial Arts for over 12 years. If you are looking for someplace to learn traditional martial arts with experienced, knowledgeable instructors that will push you to be the best martial artist you can be, then this is the school for you. It is never too late - I started when I was 35 and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I have been with Summit for a little over a year I came to the Dojo with little to no knowledge of martial arts ... Needless to say I was a nervous wreck. Since day one I have felt like I belong everyone is so welcoming and helpful.I would recommend Summit Martial Arts to any man, women, child it is a great place to build self confidence, disipline, and simply good exercise for the mind, body and soul .By the way it is very affordable with no hidden fees.

My husband and I took lessons from Summit for years, so when our son reached a good age for karate lessons, we knew where to take him. Summit instructors are top notch. They are respectful to every student - young, old, male, female, and people with all levels of ability. They are firm, but also kind. I love how students celebrate one another's victories - climbing the wall, breaking a board, and of course earning a new belt. The schedule does change according to needs/number of students. If they begin to get too full, extra class times are added. Likewise, if numbers are low, classes will be reduced

My eleven year old daughter is a second year student. Summit does an amazing job helping her progress appropriately. The instructors are amazing to work with. They understand the level of knowledge of each parent and student have and do very well with helping out wherever needed. They are patient and consistent in their practices. Prices are more than reasonable. There truly is no competition for this dojo. They are truly the best.

Our son took martial arts at Summit from the time he was 11 until we moved away when he was about 17. I was amazed at the positive changes in his self image, courage, self confidence, and motivation. He began in classes with other students his age and quickly found out that he was easily trainable and "good" at martial arts. His dedication enabled him to eventually move into adult classes.
He loved the discipline, loved the challenges, and enjoyed working with the adult students in particular. He was even able to assist in teaching college students at times, which encouraged him even more.

I have been going to Summit Martial Arts Academy for 6 to 8 months now. I researched many martial arts academy's before finally choosing Summit. I didn't want to learn from an instructor who had a single black belt in experience or go to a shop that had windows full of swords and belts that specialised in recruiting kids. Sensei Riedmiller has been involved in martial arts his entire life and shares that knowledge with his students in the most authentic and traditional way possible. I own my own business so my schedule isn't the most flexible but Sensei Riedmiller has always worked with me and

Summit Martial Arts is a great group of traditional martial artists focused on authentic combat arts. Reidmiller Sensei is a rare and refreshing find in today's era of daycare/gymnastics/black belt businesses. If you're looking for something real and practical I would highly recommend training here.
