Children and Parents love the modern-day approach to teaching martial arts that the staff at Master Lockman’s Black Belt Academy utilizes. The Kaizen Karate-Do classes are a systemized mixed martial art class that teach elements of Choi Kwang-Do (for a safe and effective method of punching, kicking and striking), Krav Maga (to learn escapes from specific holds) and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (to learn how to defend and control an opponent while on the ground).
