LB School of Self Defense

Martial arts training is an excellent way for men, women, boys & girls of all ages to:

• Get and stay in shape

• Learn realistic & applicable self-defense techniques & theory

• Gain confidence and self-esteem

• Learn & practice a traditional martial art, during which you will have the opportunity to advance in rank

• Martial arts discipline will improve other elements of your daily life, including school, work, social events, on the street, and at home

• Unlike the mindless repetition of a gyms or fitness center workout, with martial arts training you are learning, having fun, and are intellectually stimulated during your workout

Martial arts training is NOT LIMITED to ANYONE, regardless of fitness level, weight, strength, size, age or physical ability.

The focus of our school is geared toward the individual student. We never use words such as “lose” or “fail.”

In karate, although students will compete with each other at formal rank tests, the outcome of these healthy competitions does not in any way effect a student’s eligibility to advance in belt rank.

Although we employ a traditional system of belt ranks, and although we encourage students to strive toward both short and long-term goals in their training, the attainment of a belt rank, whether yellow or black, is by no means the primary goal of our school.  Adult & youth students alike will only test for rank when both they and their instructors feel that they are ready, no pressure to test on a certain time frame.  The average adult student will spend a minimum of five years in active training before earning the rank of Shodan (first degree black belt).

Before coming on board an orientation package which involves two private 30 minute lessons and an LB School of Self Defense Uniform is offered. This gives you the opportunity to see our facility, meet the instructors and truly experience our school here in Wellington for yourself.

Once a student decides to join the school, he or she will be required to purchase a school patch & sparing gear. Other than your monthly dues, the only other cost to you is your testing fee, which varies according to rank.
