What are people saying about KDC Martial Arts?
KDC Martial Arts is the best!!! Tons of practical experience and the head instructor is a true expert in his field. Lessons are always organized and engaging, using a principle-based approach that applies from one practical technique to the next, helping us synthesize each technique as we learn. Great at modifying teaching to meet each student where they are at, helping everyone get the most out of each class. On top of all this, Head Instructor Eric is also a super nice guy! I can’t recommend KDC Martial Arts enough!!
Rachel T
Eric, the head instructor, is very knowledgeable and experienced and shares concepts in ways that are easy to understand. He personalizes his instruction to teach you what you want to learn. He focuses on principles of self defense and always ties new concepts and moves back to basic principles. He is fun to work with and keeps the atmosphere really positive. I would highly recommend working with KDC Martial Arts!
