LET ME EXPLAIN WHY
The innovative Charleston Self Defense Academy after school Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, After School, Summer Camp program is a safe place. Your children will be protected from the kinds of bad influences they might get in other places that can get them into trouble now, and may even ruin their future.
Second, they will be empowered with physical skills, but, more importantly, also with the confidence to choose right over wrong. As they grow into those dangerous teenage years, you can rest assured that you have helped them form the strength of character needed to resist peer pressure.
Finally, your children will be inspired to set and achieve goals, which creates a virtual roadmap for a successful life.
BUILD YOUR CHILD'S CONFIDEGoose CreekE
I know it’s tough being a working parent, especially if you are single. After work there just isn’t much time to teach your child how to make the right choices, and it’s especially tough to play both mother and father.
Charleston Self Defense Academy parents tell us that our instructors become like “superheroes” to their children, providing them with the positive role models they truly need to accomplish their goals and live a clean, happy, healthy lifestyle.
Dear Parent,
Hi, my name is Robert Gouthro Sensei.
I am worried sick about the future of our children (as I hope you are), and I have made it my career and my passion to do something about it.
You know, children are like sponges: They learn all the time . . . and sometimes they learn things we’d rather they didn’t.
Most children just waste time watching television, playing video games, or–what bothers me the most–picking up bad habits from other children.
In our innovative after school Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, After School, Summer Camp program, children become part of our proven character development system that is LIKE NO OTHER. The kids actually ENJOY learning discipline, respect, and cooperation as part of learning AWESOME martial arts skills. I know it sounds hard to believe, but our kids actually love it! They not only have found a program they don’t want to quit, they actually get upset if you take them out of class early one day! Our parents love it, too!

FAQ
Most frequently asked questions and answers
The great thing about our program is that the earlier you get started, the better your long-term results!
We have children in our programs that started as early as 3- or 4-years-old, but since children develop at different rates, the best (and really, ONLY) way to see if your child is ready for our program is to take advantage of one of our WEB SPECIALS and try it for yourself!
No. In fact, the opposite is true!
Children are exposed to HUGE amounts of simulated and real violence in video games, on television, in movies, on the internet, and in other media outlets.
But in our unique program, we teach students real, practical, effective non-violent conflict resolution techniques and tactics that can defuse the situation before it escalates to violence. We also teach escape techniques and tactics that even smaller people can use to move to safety if approached by a potentially dangerous situation.
Should your child be confronted with an aggressive situation that can’t be resolved peacefully or escaped from, he or she will have the basic martial arts skills needed to defend themselves.
There are so many!
Martial arts students benefit from increased physical fitness and mental focus.
The focus on self-discipline, respect, self-confidence, and perseverance in the face of setbacks builds character in students young and old. Our students also join a community of people who share an interest in martial arts, improving their own way of life, and making a positive contribution in the community.
Our program not only gives your child a SAFE, inspiring place to be after school, but also provides them with an AMAZING program of self-improvement, both mentally and physically.
Imagine resting easy, knowing your child is in competent, caring hands while keeping fit, getting plenty of physical exercise, learning to defend themselves, and becoming more confident, focused, and disciplined!
Really, the only way to know if our program is a good fit for you and your family is to try it out!
We have some GREAT WEB SPECIALS, so you can try the program with no strings attached and see for yourself how the program will benefit you or your child.
One of the best parts of our program is that every student is treated as an individual and will progress at their own rate.
Each student’s progress isn’t measured against other students, but rather against their own previous performance.
So, even students that aren’t as physically fit as the star quarterback of a football team can have a wonderful experience in our program and become stronger, fitter, and more flexible.

I absolutely love this gym. It has such a homey and family friendly vibe; it's made me feel a lot less homesick after I moved here. I've done the boxing, judo, jujitsu, and self defense classes and I'm never disappointed. The instructors are all well spoken and very knowledgeable (both within the specific classes and in general questions regarding techniques and muscle development & pain management).
I love the idea that they had to use the day time as a child care/virtual schooling area and another thing that really stood out to me is the care that they take regarding safety in the kids classes. One specific example being how the instructor (Rob) was checking the technique on their falls and while doing the throw, it was both slow enough for the child's size and he also supported their head/neck throughout the movement then provided feedback on how they could improve.
Lisa and Rob have a really good crew and do a great job with the gym!
Covid: They do take temperatures and record them at the door. I've also seen them stream classes for some people that weren't comfortable coming in, though that may be something you have to ask for specifically. I'm not 100% sure.

I have known the instructor here for many years and I have a ton of respect for him. He teaches the best krav maga classes in the area. The gym is set up very well with lots of space to move and very safe and clean. I highly recommend them!

The gym has some great instructors who are very knowledgeable about the programs they offer! The program that I favor is the kids and adult judo class. The instructors are all very well versed in what they teach and are versatile with the variety of age groups they work with (young children up to adults). They also make it feel more like a community than just a fitness/self defense class. It is nice seeing how they come together to teach the art and culture, and how to do things the right way to avoid injury. The only thing I dislike about the gym is that some classes aren’t consistent with the staff members. Even in those cases, they all are on the same page and very skilled. Otherwise it’s a pretty good gym! The owner knows just about every student’s name and makes a fairly welcoming atmosphere.
