As a service to our community, the Institute of Traditional Asian Martial Arts offers self defense seminars to businesses, organizations, and other groups to promote awareness and safety to the public. The seminars are free of charge, and cover a wide variety of topics.

If you are interested, please contact us at dholland@itama.org. The seminar may by held at our Dojo or elsewhere. We do ask that at least 10 people be in attendance, and any student under the age of 18 must have consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Private Lessons are available to anyone who seeks instruction. Private Lessons may be held anywhere locally, or at the dojo during downtime. The standard rate is $35 / hour.
