what you will learn
At Kinship Self Defense, we empower you to protect yourself and those you care about through the power of several disciplines and a structured self-defense system. Our training focuses on real-world scenarios, building not just fighting skills but also confidence, awareness, and mental resilience.
Beyond this, we offer a variety of martial arts disciplines, including boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and wrestling. This well-rounded approach ensures you develop striking, grappling, and ground-fighting techniques, making you a versatile and effective martial artist.
Our Story
With all disciplines under one roof, Kinship Self Defense builds you up to be capable, confident, and combat-ready.
Kinship Self Defense was built on one simple belief: everyone has the right — and the ability — to defend themselves. What started as a small group of people training together for strength and survival quickly grew into a community united by discipline, grit, and mutual respect.
We chose the name Kinship because this isn’t just a gym — it’s a tribe. Here, you’re not just learning to fight; you’re learning to stand tall, think clearly under pressure, and support those around you.
Our foundation is Krav Maga — raw, effective, and designed for the real world. But we know true skill comes from versatility, so we brought in other battle-tested arts like boxing, wrestling , BJJ, and wrestling under one roof.
Our mission is to train people for life — not just competition. Whether you’re walking in with zero experience or years of training, we meet you where you are and push you to become your strongest, smartest self.
At Kinship, you don’t just train — you transform.
