About Self-Defense Programs

Why I Teach Self-Defense

I started Kia Kaha MMA and Fitness because feeling safe shouldn’t be a luxury. If you want more than just another workout, you’re in the right place. My self-defense programs give you skills you can actually use when it counts.

Beginner Friendly, No Stress

Most people here have zero experience - honestly, you’re not alone if you’ve never thrown a punch. I keep things simple in the beginning. You’ll learn how to stand strong, move with purpose, and spot trouble before it finds you. We move at your pace, and nobody gets left behind.

What You Get

• Practical MMA self-defense: Punches, kicks, elbows, and more, broken down step by step.
• Defensive striking techniques: Blocking, evading, and holding your ground.
• Grappling made simple: Easy moves for when things get close and physical, no matter your size.
• Personal safety awareness: Make street-smarts a habit, not just a skill.

More Than Moves

Self-defense isn’t just about fighting - it’s about walking taller every day. When you know you can handle yourself, you feel it in your bones. Training here builds discipline, patience, and a bit of that inner fire. Plus, smashing out stress on the pads? Way better than a treadmill.

Community Vibes

Doesn’t matter if you’re a woman, man, office worker, or student - anyone can join. We’re all just regular folks looking to get stronger together. Nobody’s judging, and help is always there if you need it.
