HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!
Our innovative martial arts program is fun for the whole family!
Normally, when you enroll your child in an activity like soccer or basketball, your children participate while you are stuck on the sidelines as a spectator or maybe – if you’re lucky — as a coach.
On top of that, your child might not even get to play as some of the team members get to “ride the bench.”
In our North Charleston Innovative Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, After School, Summer Camp Program for Families, everyone participates: children, parents, and even grandparents can attend classes and progress at their own pace.
In our action-packed family classes, no one sits on the bench!
Children practice with other children, and adults practice with other adults. Martial arts classes are one of the only family programs where children and their parents get the same kind of healthy exercise at the same time.
SHARE THE WINNING SPIRIT
Because everyone must master similar impressive skills, families at Charleston Self Defense Academy have shared goals.
Family members will practice their martial arts skills together before and after class, and even practice at home to help each other succeed.
Discussions in the car or at the dinner table will center around the family’s new common interest: The valuable life lessons being taught in class about character development and leadership.
Each member will have their own insights, their own frustrations, and their own triumphs, but they will feel comfortable sharing them because they know the other members of the family have the same interests and experiences.
ENERGIZE YOUR LIFE!
The day to day “grind” can really get you (and your whole family) down.
It’s hard work raising a family! It’s a HUGE responsibility that, while we love the challenge and the rewards, can be truly exhausting.
Well, do we have the CURE for that!
Not only does the physical training you’ll get here at Charleston Self Defense Academy get you in shape and give you more energy than you can imagine, our classes (for the whole family) will INSPIRE you and ENERGIZE your whole life!
Dear Concerned Parent,
It’s a constant battle to raise a family these days. Everyone is running off in different directions, and even if you can corral the whole family into the same room at the same time, they’ll probably be staring like zombies at their cell phones or tablets, instead communicating with each other.
As parents, it’s painful to watch helplessly as your precious children drift away, and the farther they drift, the harder it becomes to communicate and to trust each other. It’s only a matter of time before their friends’ approval is more important than your approval.
What can a modern parent do?
Hi, My name is Robert Gouthro Sensei
and I’m very PROUD that HUNDREDS if families in the Charleston Self Defense Academy area are sharing their “best kept secret” with all their friends: That our Family Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, After School, Summer Camp program in is the answer they have been desperately seeking.

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.
