Fighting Concepts of Hagerstown

n American Martial Arts from traditional Martial Arts is the stress of kata (a series of techniques directed against imaginary opponents). At Tri-State Martial Arts we strive on proper form and technique by using combinations other than katas. To progress to each belt level the student must perform a series of combinations plus self-defense techniques from all angles of attack. The combinations are designed to flow together to create an arsenal of punching and kicking techniques that will provide coherence and focus to what would otherwise be a random assortment of habitual response necessary for one personal defense. Although we teach American Martial Arts, we support the strong traditions of eastern Asia when it comes to respect and etiquette in the school. Our Trainers: Jeff Haynes & Rick Blandford
