Definitely more than just self defense here although the self defense training alone is worth it. I recommend it for everyone, especially for girls & young women. I started as something to do with my teen niece & had always wanted to do martial arts. When I started I was years out of shape & flexibility and worried I would find mostly«tough» men there. Pleased to find all kinds of people training here(lots of women & girls) and the instructors very sensitive to individual capabilities. The school is small with very spare changing rooms. They don’t have all the extras of the sister school on Hawthorne or as big a variety of classes but I have found all I need here & can go to the other school for other classes and I am welcomed there by name! So friendly! Great conditioning & great for self confidence. The community is fun & supportive. I can’t wait for my daughter to be old enough to train. The kids here are amazing: fit, confident, respectful & able to focus.

Excellent martial arts for kids and adults. The instructors teach pure indonesian martial arts and adapt the workouts to your fitness level whether beginning or advanced. The kids program is the best with class options for tiny ones all the way through teens. Highly recommended for great fitness and great indonesian martial arts education.

I have to echo Colleen B. in saying that I too came to One With Heart looking for self-defense training only, but what I have gotten back thus far has been so vastly much more. I have found a family here, teammates, healing from emotional wounds, the ability to face and conquer my fears, the ability to defend myself against anyone, and the skill to live life in a more humble and pure manner. This description only minutely hits the tip of the iceberg from my perspective. I love my training here and I look forward to a lifetime of it!
