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!

I had been meaning to try tai chi since an undergrad course I took years ago - and I’m glad I found this place! The instruction is concise, yet open, and is really good at moving with your pace, even in a mixed-skill class. If you’re looking for a great dojo to start martial arts in a very comfortable environment, Twinsburg Academy of Self-Defense is for you! You will feel welcome and well-focused on, and the more you put into it, the more they will definitely give to you!

Terrific instructors. I didn't start to learn T'ai Chi until I was in my mid-70s. Thanks to the step-by-step instruction of Master Tim, I have been able to progress through 4 different forms. There's always something new to learn so it's never boring. Very enjoyable, beneficial exercise with no stress on aging joints. Classes are fun and relaxing.

My son joined at the beginning of the year and I joined as an adult a couple of weeks later. We enjoy all of the classes, but especially look forward to Saturdays for the family class. It's a great opportunity to make memories with your kids and build a stronger bond with them. The training focuses on self defense through 2 different styles of jiu jitsu. The instructors are fabulous. They structure the classes in an easy to understand and fun way that engages students. In addition to self defense, students develop important life skills such as self confidence, discipline, respect, and friendship to name a few.

Master Tim runs a very clean and professional dojo. He and his team of senseis and senpais are patient and knowledgeable. My nieces are both under 10 and everyone is very willing to work with their learning styles. If you are looking for discipline and focus, you've come to the right place. If you're looking for self-defense training, you've come to the right place.

As a new student our son felt welcomed and included from the very first class. The Senseis are knowledgeable and care about the students. They take time to make sure the students understand what they are learning and make it relatable and fun. The students are an integral part of the learning experience as well, with peer led exercises and practices. I love how this helps to build confidence in all of the students!
