I've been going to this dojo for about 6 months & the Integrated Fighting System (IFS) classes are exactly what I was looking for. It mixes the best self-defense parts of Western Boxing, Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kempo & street smarts, There are really no katas in the class, just drills in real street threat scenarios. This includes deescalation, multiple attackers, facing guns & knives & going to the ground. it goes from fighting dirty against a stronger opponent, to safely managing your drunk uncle. Doug is the class master. He is so patient at teaching people at all skill levels on how to use the relevant parts from his decades of training. He also makes the class fun! Lance is another excellent IFS instructor, with vast knowledge & great teaching style. If you're looking to learn martial arts & boxing in a no-nonsense self-defense class, this is it.
My daughter loves it and the instructors are amazing with all the kids.
The BEST martial arts studio in Napa. Master Nick Christ is loved by the kids and parents alike. His classes keep the kids engaged and wanting to work hard and learn. Lance Meltzer leads the adult and teen program that help even the most intrepid beginner feel comfortable alongside his team of black belts with loads of encouragement as well as providing a challenging environment.
