Our workouts are a great way to get in shape
Martial arts is like an exercise program with a bonus! You learn to defend yourself while you get in shape.
Our classes relieve stress
Martial arts classes are well known for their stress relieving benefits. The emphasis on mind-body training goes far beyond the benefits of standard, health club type exercise programs.
Our classroom practice sessions give you confidence
The confidence building part of our program is what students appreciate the most. Nothing can take the place of the security in knowing that you can defend yourself, if you have to.
What we teach you could save your life
At our school, everything we teach is reality based. Our instructors work very hard to insure that most any situation you might encounter is covered in the classroom under very safe learning conditions, so you will be prepared.
Our program is a lot of fun
The reason our program is so successful is because we make the classes fun and exciting. We learned a long time ago that if people are having fun, they learn much faster.

Shihan Algier's knowledge is unsurpassed in the RI area.
"Weapons training is the weight lifting of the martial arts."
Paul Algier. 6th Dan.If you are looking into other martial arts schools, take a look at these things first.
- Ask if you will have to sign a contract. We don't employ the use of contracts!
- Many schools will charge you an additional fee for stripe and belt testing. We don’t have hidden costs associated with our testing program.
- Martial arts testing is judged on 100% proficiency of the requirements. We will not water down our standards just to give rank. We value quality, not quantity.
- Check and see if the owner/senior instructor is actually doing the instruction. If not who is? Renshi Algier teaches over 700 classes each year and our senior instructors have over 25 years experience each… We guarantee that one of us will be on the training floor.
At our school, we keep it easy.
