Why Choose Han Mi Martial Arts?

From the beginning, Han Mi Martial Arts has strived to offer self-defense classes to students in a positive and empowering environment. We work to deliver that self-defense education primarily and any sportive study secondarily. This fact separates us from other martial arts schools, oddly enough. We recognize that you coming into our school is motivated by you wanting to better be able to deal with the challenges in your or your child's life. We've structured our curriculum, our way of teaching, and everything about what we do to that goal.

To appreciate what makes us different, you’ll need to know the difference between sport and self-defense. Trophies, belts, and competitions are nice, but chasing these things without developing respect, humility, camaraderie, and tenacity will lead to more problems in the long run. Students need to understand these things first in order to really be a positive force in the lives of others. We teach that through the study of self-defense. If you appreciate this approach over constant belt tests that never really show how to deal with a resisting partner or training that focuses strictly on sports competitions and you want to share the mats with positive, intelligent, and motivated people, then this school is for you.

We strongly believe that martial arts training is for everyone, regardless of age, gender or experience levels. The only limiting factors are attention, consistency, and energy. Throughout all of our programs, students will not only learn the what, how, and why of what to do, but they will be respected and appreciated for their dedication. We stand behind our realistic and practical approach, confident it will enable every member to handle their fear appropriately, to not succumb to abusive people, live a better life that is worthwhile to themselves, and to be a positive force in the lives of everyone around them.

My staff and I will work tirelessly to help you to achieve these worthwhile goals for yourself and your children. That is my promise to you.
