This place is great for teaching martial arts to all ages, but we specifically have a 4 year old and I love that teach respect. Addy works very closely with my daughter to ensure she's not left out of any moves and I love when my daughter calls her ma'am and shows her respect. It's something we're working on at home and it helps to have this place to help!

South Franklin Circle Senior Community

South Franklin Circle invited Tim Loomis of The Twinsburg Academy of Self-Defense to conduct a Senior Self-Defense Lecture/Seminar. To my surprise we had an excellent turn out. The high attendance led me to believe that seniors, really wanted to be proactive about their safety and wanted to learn ways to help themselves. Tim tailored the class to meet the needs of the senior population. He taught them simple self defense techniques and strategies, in a basic and understandable way. He packed in so much useful information into the session. I would highly recommend this class to all senior communities.

Resident Dot Bambach, “ What a great instructor! Tim gave us some very practical advice for people our age. I learned some really good strategies for preventing an attack from occurring in the first place."

Resident Gil Myers, “Tim was interactive and really knows his business.”

I decided to give Twinsburg Academy of Self-Defense a try after a suggestion from a friend (two years ago!) to try Tai Chi as a way to explore a physical form of meditation. And, I am very pleased I did! The staff have the perfect combination of experience, skill and patience. The atmosphere is welcoming, even to people that have never set foot in a dojo! The others students are also very encouraging, which helps me as a strong introvert. I love the family-centered approach as well! I kind of wish I hadn’t waited so long, but when the student is ready, the teacher appears. Peace!
