Martial Arts for Adults

The best martial art to start as an adult depends on your personal goals and interests. At SDSS Martial Arts Ridgefield, we offer comprehensive adult martial arts classes that provide top-notch self-defense training. Our system is the same one used to train FBI SWAT teams, and you don’t need any prior experience to begin. This makes it an ideal choice for beginners looking to improve fitness, learn practical self-defense skills, and build confidence in a supportive environment.

No, you do not need any prior experience to join our adult martial arts classes. Our instructors are highly trained professionals who will guide you through the fundamentals and help you progress at your own pace. Whether you’re a complete novice or have some martial arts background, you’ll find our classes suitable and beneficial.

For your first class, wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows for a full range of motion. We offer a free introductory lesson and a one-month trial that includes a uniform, belt, and four weeks of classes for new students. After you’ve decided to continue, we’ll provide you with the appropriate martial arts uniform.

Practicing martial arts as an adult offers numerous benefits, including improved physical fitness, enhanced self-defense skills, increased self-discipline, and elevated mental sharpness. Additionally, you will join a vibrant community that supports personal growth, confidence, and resilience.
