Learn to Defend Yourself

Learn to Defend Yourself

 “Be safer, stronger, and more in control of your life…”
– Tim Golby, Judan 10th Degree Black Belt 

Self Defense

Learning to defend yourself from potential threats is not only possible but a responsibility; not just for yourself but for those who depend on you. 

You’re never too old to learn Karate.

We train children (starting at 6 years old) to seniors in one-on-one individual lessons so that our students can learn at their speed.

What separates Tracy’s from all the rest are private lessons.

Every student at Tracy’s Karate have their own instructor with one-on-one private instruction.


Why Are Private Lessons Better?


Like golf or piano lessons, a martial art is best learned in a one on one situation with a professional instructor. This is exactly what we do at Tracy’s.

  • You have the benefit of learning at your own rate. Everyone learns differently and is built differently. In a private lesson your instructor will customize your training.
  • Your instructor will help you set goals. Your instructor will help you keep on track and be successful. For a young student goal setting can be a valuable lesson in life!
  • A professional instructor can help you to safely experience what it feels like to be in a bear hug or a choke.
  • You will learn all the material during the private lessons leaving more time in the group classes for sharpening your skills and to strengthen your body.
  • We have thirty years of experience enabling us to turn out champions.
  • We offer all the advantages of a group class school only better.
