(And That’s by Design)

At Hwang's Martial Arts, our focus is simple: real-world self-defense for kids and adults.

If you’re searching for martial arts tournaments, competition teams, or point-based sparring, we may not be the right school for you — and that’s okay.

A Self-Defense School, Not a Competition Gym

We specialize in Krav Maga and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu because they are proven, practical systems designed for real situations, not sport rules.

Our training focuses on:

• Personal safety and awareness
• Practical self-defense skills
• Confidence under pressure
• Simple techniques that work regardless of size or strength

We don’t train for medals or trophies.
We train for real life.

Self-Defense for Kids

Our Traditional Martial Arts Kids programs use Krav Maga and Jiu-Jitsu to teach:

• Bully-prevention and boundary setting
• Confidence and self-control
• Age-appropriate striking and grappling
• How to avoid fights whenever possible

This isn’t about raising fighters — it’s about helping kids grow into strong, confident, capable young people.

Self-Defense for Adults

Krav Maga – Real-World Stand-Up Self-Defense

Our Krav Maga program focuses on practical, real-life scenarios. You’ll train for situations that don’t come with rules, weight classes, or referees.

You’ll build:

• Practical striking and defense skills
• Situational awareness and threat recognition
• The ability to respond under pressure
• Functional strength and conditioning

Krav Maga is direct, efficient, and designed to help you protect yourself in real-world encounters.

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu – Ground Control & Safety

Our Gracie Jiu-Jitsu program teaches you how to stay safe and in control if a situation goes to the ground.

You’ll build:

• Leverage-based techniques that don’t rely on size or strength
• Control, escapes, and positional awareness
• The ability to neutralize a larger opponent
• Calm decision-making under pressure
• Safe and controlled grappling (sparring)

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu focuses on technique over athleticism, making it ideal for adults who want effective self-defense without relying on power or aggression.
