I’ve been taking classes as an adult at Steiner Academy of Martial Arts for almost 18 months and I can’t recommend it enough.

As a (petite) woman, it’s empowering to learn ways to defend myself, for I will rarely be stronger than an attacker.

Shawn’s philosophy of proper mechanics wins over brute strength. He truly enjoys his students’ success and makes it enjoyable for the students too – he usually has everyone laughing.

If my middle-aged, gangly, awkward self can obtain competence in this under Shawn’s and Niki’s tutelage, anyone can!
