Sifu Robert Brown has enjoyed practicing martial arts for 40 years, and owning a school for 20 years. 

Born with cerebral palsy and dyslexia, he walked into his first dojo in leg braces with low self confidence, anger issues, and physical challenges. With training, the leg braces were gone, and he developed the physical flexiblity and strength of an average teenager.  And he walked into a far better future than was predicted for him.

Through the study of martial arts, Sifu Brown overcame the physical challenges he had since birth.  He also overcame the mental and emotional challenges that came with them.  Martial arts changed his life, and opened the doors to an amazing future.

 The only thing Sifu wants is to share the tremendous benefits of martial arts with as many people as he can. 

If you want to give Sifu something to help him celebrate this double anniversary, a new student is the most priceless, valued and cherished gift that Sifu could ask for.

The School of Martial Arts will be conducting a Cane Seminar starting March 12th. 

Cane is an excellent tool for self-defense.  The cane is far more versatile than other stick or club style weapons.  Join the seminar and learn the remarkable usefulness of the humble cane.

The seminar is open to adult students of both schools.  For more details talk to Ms. Donahue or Ms. Sullivan.

The School of Martial Arts is pleased to announce that a black sash candidate has been testing this week,  and will demonstrate his skills for the school on Saturday, January 26th at 4:00pm.

Please come and celebrate with and congradulate our newest black sash.
