The sport of Karate emphasizes match competition and point sparring. We at Chozen understand, however, that defending yourself and your loved ones, often the primary goal of adults considering martial arts training, requires a different strategy. Chozen recognizes and values this concern. We teach self-defense strategies that emphasize neutralizing your attacker and getting away. Our staff have trained in a wide array of martial arts disciplines, originating from numerous countries and with different applications and philosophies. This broad scope allows Chozen to teach real world self-defense strategies. We take the most practical techniques from the striking arts and the grappling arts (judo/ju-jitsu). We teach self-defense that works in different situations, for people of various body types. Male, female, short, tall, petite or sturdy, your Chozen training will give you the confidence to defend yourself, and the wisdom to know when and why and to what degree.
