Six days a week across two branches. Same times every week. Closed Sunday.

Programs

What gets taught here

Seven programs across two branches, from children's classes to embassy and corporate work.

Weapons

Weapons use and weapons defense

We are the only martial arts academy in Lebanon offering both weapons use and weapons defense. We teach both halves: how a weapon is handled, and how to deal with one in someone else's hand.
