Our Mission

Training for the body, mind, and soul.

Lion of Judah Martial Arts was started in May of 2001 by head instructor David Zellner. His goal in beginning the program was to bring together all of the things that he had learned over his 12 years experience in martial arts. The program is a blend of realistic self-defense using practical weapons along with empty hand techniques.

The one thing that makes Lion of Judah Martial Arts different from other curriculums is our underlying philosophy. Lion of Judah Martial Arts is a Christian-based family-oriented organization and we do teach and talk about Judeo-Christian principles and strong moral values in our classes. Parents will never have to worry about their children being taught the Eastern religions, mysticism or new age philosophies that often come with Far East martial arts instruction.

The safety of our students is also taken very seriously in all classes. All Lion of Judah instructors are trained in first-aid and CPR certified.Our main goal is to empower our students, to prepare them to face any challenge that might come against them, whether physically, mentally or spiritually. We strive to instill in our students the self-discipline, self-confidence, physical fitness, clean moral character, perseverance and self-control that is needed to succeed in today's world.
