Martial Arts
The YMCA welcomes professional instructors in various disciplines of martial arts and self-defense.
Learn how to use your strength effectively, maintain cardiovascular fitness, improve flexibility and coordination in our Martial Arts programs.
Embracing the mental and spiritual elements of martial arts will improve the mind’s focus and enable you to develop self-control, build confidence and manage stress. These classes are not meant to promote fighting. Our focus is on instilling values such as discipline, self-awareness, and developing an ability to put mind over matter.
Class size is limited and registration is required.
