Bear Claw Martial Arts is a progressive fusion of Ju-Jitsu, Kung-Fu, Karate & other fighting arts. Our  goal is to prepare you to defend yourself in real-world situations by conditioning mind, body, and spirit.  If you wish to learn strict, traditional martial arts with lots of forms (katas) that have little or no practical application in today's world this is probably not the place you want to train.

    Bear Claw martial artists focus on four  main physical aspects of self-defense: Stand-Up Aggression, Take-Downs/Throws, Opponent Control, and Ground Fighting. We also focus on the mental aspects  of self-defense by training in situational awareness & avoidance, diffusing aggressive confrontation, and the confidence  to deal with no-other-options scenarios. We strive to fully integrate all of these aspects in a realism oriented atmosphere that is fun and safe to learn in.

    Bear Claw martialists continually adapt our curriculum from numerous sources and styles, so that we never become convinced that "my kung-fu is better than yours". We welcome all new students to come and learn our techniques. All we ask is that you leave your ego at the door and bring your willingness to learn and train hard with you.
