Training Program Overview
Defender Martial Arts offers a comprehensive program of martial arts in a Christian environment. The student wishing to train extensively in martial arts will start with Taekwondo as a base. Taekwondo will provide physical as well as mental development for the martial artist. We are not a strictly traditional Taekwondo school because we feel that it is important to study other methods to round out our training. We also train in other disciplines such as Philippine stick fighting, Danzan_Ryu Jujitsu, and other lesser known methods of defense. We will, however, only be offering rank in Taekwondo for the time being. As the student advances in rank and maturity, they will be evaluated according to their level of competence, commitment, and character. If they are recommended for advanced martial arts training, they will be considered for invitation to the Advanced Program.
Mr. Cowan is also a certified to train students in the CDT™ program created by Mr. Tom Patire. Our CDT program includes Training For Life™, Know&Go™, Family Protection, and other CDT programs as they become available. Please go here for more information on our program.
Advanced Training Program
Taekwondo is a powerful martial art that provides not only physical and mental training, but self defense tools and a sport that is a fairly recent addition to the Olympic Games. DMAA believes that cross training in other disciplines is very beneficial for the martial artist.
Admittance to our Advanced Training is by invitation only. This training also includes a commitment to training as an instructor.
