Benefits
of Shepherd-Warrior Martial Arts
Character Building
It is extremely important for us to make sure that we help each of our students learn more within their walk with God. In this regard, we feel that helping our students build their character to be more Christ-like is much more important than teaching them to punch and kick. Think about it…if a person consistently demonstrates things like respect, self-control, compassion, courtesy, etc., wouldn’t you think that the likelihood of having to use physical self-defense skills would be lower?
Confidence
When students, both children and adults, experience success, their confidence improves. Students learn how to set and achieve goals (patches, belts, etc.) and thereby feel better about themselves. Adults often lose some unwanted pounds as they learn to better defend themselves, which helps improve their confidence as well. Our staff of instructors knows how to push you or your child to do their best through both success and setbacks to be a more confident version of you.
Self-Defense
Self-defense is the ability to protect yourself against any harm (physical or emotional) by using character skills and making great choices so that you avoid trouble and create peace wherever you go. True self-defense is not just defending yourself against physical aggression, but against poor health, a bad attitude, negative thoughts, injury, and apathy. These are things that we will bring up and talk about in our classes, in addition to teaching you awesome physical skills.

Mike Johnson
This is a great place to train, especially for kids and families. The staff here are wonderful and will help you achieve any goals you’re looking for on your martial arts journey. Highly recommended.
Rick Kale
Just started taking Krav Maga classes and love it! The instructors are amazing and it’s a solid workout. Would recommend them to anyone looking to get in shape and learn some real world self defense.
Jami Dolbear
This is one of the most valuable places I have studied. Every class is something new. Even if the information is a review there is always something that can be tweaked. I took several years off but when I came back it was like riding a bike. I never truly forgot the information it just got buried. Thank you Dennis and Staff.
Jessica Cummings
SWMA is not just about studying martial arts, it’s also about developing an individual’s character. This mixture of training is ideal for our family and is what we seek when looking for martial arts training for our kids. My kiddo has been attending this dojo for quite a while now and absolutely loves it! Some of his favorite things about SWMA [In the interest of space, I’ll have to summarize, ha!]: Master Forleo, class atmosphere, character development, his classmates.
RJ Haddick
This place is amazing. Want to give your kids a head start in manners, respect, and confidence? These guys are amazing. Great staff, clean dojo and engaging lessons. 6th star of one was available.

Jodi Haddick
SWMA is an amazing, uplifting, and character building experience for the entire family. Our family has grown through the experiences here and couldn’t be happier with the way our boys have grown through it all. We look forward to what is next! SWMA has their priorities straight and genuinely care about each student.

Shepherd-Warrior helped give my 7 year old daughter more confidence in herself and gave her the confidence to get up in front of a group of people she didn’t know. Thank You and we MISS ALL of YOU!!!!
Tiffany Horton
My son has really enjoyed doing online classes with Master Johnson. As parents, we value the character lessons taught each month. Thank you for offering these online classes!
