Alfred Martial Arts --Goals:

To provide effective and empowering martial arts skill instruction to students of all ages and experience levels in a safe, intelligent and challenging teaching/learning environment.

To foster in members a desire for self-improvement and self-discovery through martial arts practice and to develop an ethic of hard work, good citizenship, achievement and leadership, while nurturing a respect for self, others, and the greater community.

To remain mindful of the traditions, histories and cultures out of which these martial arts have evolved without becoming unnecessarily bound to or restricted by them, and to foster a place for these traditions, histories and cultures within the framework of our modern American lifestyle.

To develop in the student the confidence to walk away from violence and to embrace peaceful solutions to conflict through diligent practice and mastery of specific martial arts techniques and the exploration and development of one’s character.

To keep our programs financially accessible to the general public by maintaining frugal and efficient fiscal practices and offering an array of class times and formats.
