How is TDS Family Martial Arts and Fitness Centers Different?

There are a lot of approaches to teaching martial arts. Some schools are very strict and traditional. You cannot talk in class. You never approach your instructor. Instead you must ask one of the assistants if you have a question. The head instructor is not only non approachable, but if you make a mistake, they have some pretty interesting ways of making you know it. None of which make you feel very good!

Then there are the non traditional schools. Kind like a playground for martial artists. Not much in the way of respect or tradition. They don't teach many of the traditional forms and drills that the ancient masters based their systems on. Some of them are more like boxing gyms without the ring. A total absence of tradition and decorum.

We believe that the best learning situation is somewhere in between. I personally believe that the best learning atmosphere is a relaxed friendly one. I think that is why we have attracted such a nice following of adults in our program. Men and women who like to learn and train, enjoy each others company and have respect for themselves, the instructors and each other.

The fact that you are reading this tells me you looking for something. Maybe it is to learn to defend yourself. Maybe to get in shape or lose weight. Maybe you want to increase your self discipline or self confidence. Perhaps you have always wanted to learn martial arts. Maybe you just want to participate in a fun activity with other fine adults.
