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 (both Okinawan and Japanese) 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.
