A school dedicated to teaching the art of self defense.
For over fifteen years, Sensei Alex Ashodian and his staff have taught self defense techniques to national and local security professionals, adults, university students, and public school classes. Sensei Ashodian believes that self defense is a fundamentally inward journey. Though students have the opportunity to become proficient in different fighting styles, the serious martial artist must integrate disciplines like conditioning and stamina into his or her training discipline. Typical classes often encompass education in the following areas:
Warm ups
Conditioning and coordination
Stretching
Ukemi (breakfalls)
Technique
Sparring
The Purple Dragon School of Self Defense is for students who understand that the path to martial arts mastery is continuous and long term exploration.
